If it's open source, it's also important to choose a licence. People aren't technically allowed to do anything with it unless it has one.

No problem.

I thought I'd mention the licence thing to help others because I found it confusing when I wrote Working Files List.

I initially didn't realise that I needed to add one until I read more about it. I then chose GPL3 until I read it would make my project incompatible with uploading to the Visual Studio Marketplace.
