First shot

Once you start using the extension, the required settings will be written in the extension.settings file. If you want to use and older version of the SDK (current 19.2.0), then you need to change the path in the extension.settings file.

Known issues

  • It can happen that problems may occur in the extension.settings file. You don't need to handle this file, since the extension is responsible for it, but if you want to use another version of the SDK, then you need to change the SDK path in the extension.settings file.

  • It can happen, that the input fileds are not in focus initially. The issue is not reproducible yet.
