MicroBlock (@std-microblock) thank you so much for your contribution, we greatly appreciate it and your support! As a quick update, we plan to take this PR into our extension soon.

As a side note, we plan to prioritize enhancements to CMake presets support moving forward (see issue: #4117). If there is a reason you prefer kits, we would love to know more in the issue I linked.

A couple of things that would improve this PR have been commented / requested. Otherwise, I think the changes look reasonable, please ping me when you've updated the PR based on my comments!

[MicroBlock (std-microblock)]

I'll look into the changes when I have spare time.

I updated the code to share the logic, added context in the strings letting users know that it will be a recursive search, and I also added a progress notification for the accumulation of the folders to scan, since it could be a long operation someone selected a folder with lots of content. If you cancel, it will move forward with whatever was already scanned.
