How can I force to ask default Workspace like eclipse with theia?

#1

I want to show ‘open workspace’ dialog before it starts.
And after setting workspace path, I want to restrict creating folders or files only in the workspace path.
How can I do this?
Plz help!

This might be difficult to achieve with Theia alone.

e.g. one can always use the terminal to navigate and create files/folders wherever the filesystem permissions permit
