To flesh this out a bit: Currently, if you're doing a "Clone repository in named container volume" with a repository that has its devcontainer files in .devcontainer/folderA/devcontainer.json and .devcontainer/folderB/devcontainer.json, you only get to select from the list of standard images -- there is no way to (manually) select the correct json files from the standard location, only to Cancel.

It would be great to either correctly detect and show all present `devcontainer.json´, or let the user manually point to the location of such a file.

I was just looking for this myself. Hope to see it soon!

Any updates on this? I just checked with my current version (v0.315.1), and this issue still exists (you only get the list of standard images to select from), meaning one has to copy/duplicate devcontainer files to stand up a correct dev environment. Would it easily be possible to add a "browse for correct file" entry to that list?
