About using MS-VS code with TXT4.0 SD-card

[vleeuwen]

MS-Visual Studio Code works fine with the TXT4.0 and Python.
However the the extension, which are needed, are asking a lot of storage space.
Moving the .vscode-server to a SD-card could solve disk full problems.
It is also possible to allocate the MS-Visual Studio Code on the SD-card.
Use Putty for the remote command box.

Code: Alles auswählen

find -L ./ -mindepth 15

• Reconnect from your MS-VS Code again.
