Body

hi. i just installed vscode copilot and when i make a promt in edits mode sometimes it opens a save window without any filename and asks to choose the path where files should be saved. I see that it mensions in an answers some files that need's to be created in a workspace. When i click cancel the dialog show up again and again! what is this, is it a vsCode github copilot bug or i need to write a filenames by myself that it mensions in a edit chat ?

Thank you for explanation. I tryed to create the mensioned files manualy, but it stays just blank, after i create files copilot don't write a code to it. Does it possible to allow it to write this files to the workspace folder without asking me to do it manually ?
