Description

Description

In the opencode Desktop app on Windows, switching between multiple local working directories that point to the same code repository does not work reliably.

For example, I may have the same repository A checked out into multiple local working directories for different development purposes:

  • D:\work\A-feature-1
  • D:\work\A-feature-2

When both directories are added/used in opencode Desktop, switching between them can fail or keep opening/using the wrong workspace. The only workaround I found is to remove one of the duplicated repository workspaces, after which the remaining one works normally.

Expected behavior

opencode Desktop should treat different local working directories as separate workspaces, even if they are based on the same repository, and allow switching between them normally.

Actual behavior

When multiple working directories correspond to the same repository, switching between them may not work correctly. One of them has to be removed before the other can be used normally.

Environment

  • App: opencode Desktop
  • OS: Windows

Notes

This seems related to workspace identity/deduplication. It may be using repository identity/name instead of the full local path when distinguishing workspaces.
