moving the folder

[visionm45]

After creating a new dev volume for a contract using this tool I can re open the same dev environment by opening the same workspace folder. So I would expect to be able to move this folder but what I get when the folder is moved is the following error.

You won't be able to move the folder on the host machine because the devcontainer.json file relies on the variables: ${localWorkspaceFolder} and ${localWorkspaceFolderBasename}.

You have two options, either:

1. Change the variables in the .devcontainer configuration file and hardcode the original values (from the original folder location). You can use this reference to know what the variable values are.
2. Or push your smart contract code to a github repository, and then use the VSCode Open EOS Contract tool to open the contract at the new github repo.
