Well, this shows I'm not a Windows developer myself. The way I was told Visual Studio was the full product and VS Code a lightweight open sourced edition. That may be totally off. So based on your feedback VS Code support is what we should focus on. From what I understand that's a cross-platform IDE so we could even experiment with it on linux. Though the same applies in the other direction of course: linux users have *their* preferred tools and habits :) Regards, Geert _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
