Description

Hi,

I am very happy about the new vscode template inside of ProjectGenerator. It works fine as long as the openFrameworks project is inside of_root/apps/myApps/myProject . When I import a project located in that folder, ProjectGenerator generates a vscode-workspaces that will let me build and run the applications automatically w/o a problem.

However, when I import an openFrameworks project that is located somewhere else, the c_cpp_properties.json file that is generated still contains the default path to openFrameworks API/libraries. The project cannot be built unless the paths' are fixed manually.

A fix would be great.

Thx and best regards!

Research direction

Start by locating the ProjectGenerator code that creates c_cpp_properties.json and vscode-workspaces files. Reproduce generation for a project outside _root/apps/myApps/myProject and compare the paths with an in-tree project; done means the generated configuration uses the imported project's actual openFrameworks paths without manual edits.
