Hello,
Due to VSCode moving its install location from the programs folder towards user specific %appdata% folders and us sharing a configuration file accross multiple PCs (with different user names) we run into the issue of no longer being able to configure a default editor in Filezilla as it needs to be a user specific path.
What I've tried to circumvent this problem:
- Link directly to a soft link: "C:\vsc\code.exe.lnk" - does not work, filezilla seems not to be able to directly follow symlinks
- Creating a hard link in "C:\vsc\code.exe", unfortunately this does not work even if directly started from the file, regardless of using filezilla or not
- Trying to use windows paths in filezilla configuration: "%appdata%\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" - seems not to be supported or i'm failing to get the syntax right
Any Idea on how to resolve this issue would be very welcome.
Thank you.

Shortcut files aren't symbolic links. Please try an actual symbolic link.
