When create an AL extension with Visual Studio Code (AL:GO!), the app gives by default a creation folder root. It woul'd be awsome to be able to choose this folder and set it by default, for example, a shared folder with your team.

Thank you for this suggestion! We are addressing this in 2023 release wave 2. There is now an *al.algoSuggestedFolder* setting for specifying the default folder location for new AL projects. As usual for settings, this can be set per user or per workspace, offering some flexibility in the location for new projects.

Best regards, Business Central Team

Even if this was limited to choosing default or a 1Drive folder it would be helpful - syncing all of Documents isn't suitable for a mixed-customer environment, but having the security of work being immediately synced without me having to remember to do it would be fantastic.

At the least, it should simply get the location from the user/profile settings, i.e. what we see when right-clicking Documents in "This PC" and checking the Locations tab.

For instance, my org re-maps the Documents folder and its counterparts to a different location, which is synchronised with the cloud. AL should pick up that mapping so that my new projects are created in the place that is (a) correct and does not require me to change the path text or move the later; and (b) automatically backed up meaning I cannot lose work by leaving the project in a wrong, unsynchronised location.

So before adding a setting to specify any folder, at least fix AL to start honouring the real Documents folder per user. Thanks!
