Good morning,
regarding Visual Studio Code I have a question that hopefully someone can help me.

How is it possible to rename the folder ".vscode" in ".Visual Studio Code" so that the VSCode Editor works? not renaming it via Windows Explorer but via VSCode Editor.
Attached are 2 images so you can see about what I'm talking from

Thanks in advance
Mike (Germany)

    Hi @Michael Dichte ,

    You are using Visual Studio Code, which is different from Visual Studio. The tag “vs-general” is related to Visual Studio, for more questions about Visual Studio Code, we suggest you post it to the Stack Overview tagged visual-studio-code forum or GitHub repository where you would get professional support for this product.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Sincerely,
    Anna
