moved a .py file

Question

Hi guys,

I have created a new project on VS2019 with a ".py" file.

if i move the ".py" file to a different location using windows explorer, and then re-open the VS2019; VS2019 cannot find the ".py" file.

Is there a way within VS2019 to change the "Full Path" to the new location of the file, so that VS2019 knows where to open the file?

Hi, @James Shaw

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I checked the document of Visual Studio 2019, but did not find anything about this.

If you move a python file to another folder, Visual Studio will prompt you that this file does not exist and cannot be opened. You can add this file to the project (right click project->Add->Existing item), and Visual Studio will copy this file to the project folder.

Usually, files in a project will not be moved individually. If you need to move the project to another folder, please move the entire project folder.

Sincerely,
Peng
