Can't Create project from ST project on Linux

[skiphansen]

I'm (very) new to VS code and I'm trying to follow https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/importing-st-projects-into-visual-studio-code/ on Linux.

When I run Create project from ST project a dialog opens, but it refuses to accept the directory containing my .cproject file.

When I click "Open Project" the dialog just enters the Test subdirectory.

The .cproject file IS there...

To Reproduce Try to import ST project on Linux.

Expected behavior Project imports correctly.

I figured it out. Right clicking in the dialog brings up options, selecting "show hidden files" fixes the issue.
