Change default project directory with ESP-IDF and Visual Studio Code
Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2026 3:12 pm
Hi,
First time ever here.
I'm using Visual Studio Code on Windows 10 in combination with the ESP-IDF framework v6.0.1.
When creating a new project, I'm using the New Project Wizard, part of the Advanced section of the ESP-IDF explorer window.
I would like to know if I can change the default value of the item Enter Project directory. It's by default set to but I would like to give it another destination. Now I always have to change the path, it would be convenient to change the default location instead.
Can this be done and if so, how?
Best,
Geert
