Change default open and save in Visual Studio Code?

Question

Is it possible to change the default opening and saving location when trying to open and / or save a file.

The default location is the root, but I would like it to be the desktop.

Answer 1

I did not find anything in the Preferences settings that supported this, and would not find anything, stating that it is supported.

As you said yourself, the default location is the root of your system. At least if you are not working in a folder.

What you could do, of course, is simply open your ~ / Desktop as a folder in VSCode. Then, automatically, your default save location is exactly as you would like.
