How to change the save directory in Visual Studio Code.

Posted on by 35

Good day, everyone.

When you want to create a new extension in Visual Studio Code, you can use GO! in the command palette. Then the application gives the path of a directory where is going to save your new extension. All I want is to change this directory. I know it can be made in settings.json, but wich one? and how?

Thanks for your support.

    Thank you, Tanya, but I precisely want to change the default path for not to need to change every time. There shoul'd be a way. ;-)

    Instead , you could possibly use your own path in AL:GO!

    In place of default path -

    use this -

    Your Project would be created on the desired path

    Workspace settings would be the first place to try. This video shows how to access them: https://youtu.be/D-Ipyy12Qaw
