[Feature Request] Be able to select the folder to save new coding file (.cpp, .py,...) and their sample testcases

[ducminh25]

I feel annoyed when the new problems/contests I saved from Codeforces (and other coding web) are automatically saved to the Workspace folder, while I want them to be saved in a different one (still inside the Workspace, but not the main folder one).
To illustrate, the folder that I opened in the Workspace is "D:\Code". However, I wanna save the problems/contests in the "D:\Code\contests".

Extension Version: 5.9.2 (v2024.7.1722430096)

VS Code Version: (idk, sorry. However, it is the newest at this moment)

Browser Version: Microsoft Edge - version 130.0.2849.27 (Official build) stable app, beta channel (64-bit)

Operating System: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, OS build 22635.4300, 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Same here. I tried changing the srcPath property in the problem file in .cph folder, but to no avail.

It'd be nice to be able to specify the target path with some sort of "template" syntax, e.g.:

${workspaceFolder}/path/to/${problemId}.cc

Where problemId is a variable provided by the extension. There could be others, like contestId, judgeId, etc.

An alternative would be to provide a command to change the target folder during a session.

Similar to what cp editor provides

As a workaround you can add the subfolder folder you want to store the files in as a new folder in the workspace and drag it to the top above the root folder (or just remove the root folder from the workspace).

As an exmaple let's say your workspace structure is:

• atcoder
  • ARC
    • 170

You can add the contest folder to the workspace:

• atcoder
  • ARC
    • 170
• 170

And then with your mouse move it to the top (vs code will ask for confirmation):

• 170
• atcoder
  • ARC
    • 170
