I imported an Arduiono project (.ino File). Wondering why I don’t see the build/clean etc. pop up menu choice.
In the attached picture, why is under 1. the name “UNBENANNT (ARBEITSBEREICH)?”
How do I rename this to sth. meaningful?
And 2. How do I rename this to something else? I don’t like this automatically generated name.
This question is related to VS Code, not Platformio.
You can give your workspace a name by saving it:
I can see from your screenshot that you have several projects in the current workspace.
This is fine, but sometimes difficult to handle.
I therefore recommend using only one project per workspace.
This makes your life easier and you are always on the safe side.
Hi Chriskuku,
Did you find a “nice” solution especially for the second part of your question?
I saw somewhere else the suggestion to have only one project per workspace and then the project name would not matter (so much). But I do not think that this is why we differentiate workspace and project. And also externally renaming and re-importing does not cut it for “nice” in my opinion… 
Seems to be so fundamental that there must be a misunderstanding or very easy way which I do not see.
This is about two different things.
Firstly, the name of the workspace. This can easily be “renamed” by saving the workspace.
The second is the name of the folder that is used when importing an Arduino project. Unfortunately, the name is fixed according to the pattern: “YYMMDD-HHMMSS-board_id”.
The only way to change the name is to remove the folder from the workspace, rename it in the file system and add it back to the workspace.
