Description
I have a project with an "unmanaged folder", and it gets an autogenerated name when first opened. Something like: "myproject_380e1993". Is there a way to configure this name explicitly? When I clone/copy the codebase and open from another computer, it generates another random project name, and so the launch.json configurations all need to be changed to fit the new name.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the unmanaged-folder workflow described in the issue and observe how the autogenerated project name relates to launch.json configurations. Trace the project-name generation and configuration handling, then verify that a cloned or copied codebase can use an explicitly configured stable name without requiring launch.json edits.
