AL File Wizard filenaming convention
It would be nice if it would name the files correctly, when using the AL wizard, or at least make it setuable what the filename should be. According to Microsofts guidelines files should be named <Objectname>.<ObjectType>.al and not <Partialobjecttype><ObjectId>.<Objectname>.al https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/compliance/apptest-bestpracticesforalcode
Thanks :)
Hi
Wizards are using Waldo's CRS AL Language extension to create names of the files. All you have to do is to populate "CRS.FileNamePatters", "CRS.FileNamePatternExtensions" and "CRS.FileNamePatternPageCustomizations" settings or run "CRS: Configure Best-practice File Naming".
It is better if there is just one community VS Code extension and one set of settings that allows us to specify how we want to name our file.
HiCool, that makes sense.

If the extension is already using CRS, is there a way to automatically generate the object name when creating a new extension object? I usually have to give the file an arbitrary name and then use the "Reorganize - Current File" command.
Waldo explains how to use the CRS settings here

By setting the crs parameters correctly, the the files are named accordingly, at least when using the AL wizard. You can also activate automatic renaming, when saving the files.
