Feature request: Pause

[kokoshneta]

I mostly work on a behemoth of messy production website code left behind by a previous developer, and to avoid having to download and sync everything from the server, I’ve just reverse-synced what I needed to be working on. That means I sometimes need to download/reverse-sync a folder or folders which I haven’t fetched previously.

Because I have Deploy Reloaded set up to auto-deploy on change on certain file types, this reverse-sync causes Code to immediately sync all the same files back to the server, which is a waste and also tends to make Code run at about 100% CPU for a good while if I forget to close it before fetching.

For situations like this, it would be nice if it were possible to temporarily pause auto-deployment in an easy way, without having to disable the entire extension (which requires a restart of Code) or closing Code.

The ideal solution (for me, at least) would be to have a status icon in the status bar which could control the active/paused state of the extension, similar to extensions like Live SASS and Live Server.
