Duplicate creates file in wrong folder

[goldrik]

When duplicating a file which is not in any of the workspace folder, the command does not create the file in the chosen folder.

To reproduce:

1. Start VS Code and have a folder in the workspace.
2. Open a file in the editor which is not in that workspace
3. File Utils: Duplicate
4. Select a workspace folder
5. The autogenerated path in the text box does not correspond to the same path selected in step 4

It should create the file in the selected workspace folder.

Note: It may be a nice addition to have the folder that file is located in be one of the options when selecting a workspace folder to duplicate the file into.

VS Code v1.86.1
Windows Server 2022
FileUtils v3.10.3

same here, it always create the file relative to the workspace, while it should use the path as absolute.

i found the reason, u need to set both

• "fileutils.duplicateFile.typeahead.enabled": false
• "fileutils.inputBox.pathType": "root"

now when duplicating a file, it will be created in the correct path instead of relative to the workspace
