The "Initialize ADR Directory" command does not allow the user to select the root when prompted to "Choose the folder to save the ADR to:"

[tgolla]

When you execute the ADR Manager: Initialize ADR Directory command through VS Code Command Palette... you are prompted with Choose the folder to save the ADR to: which immediately selects the first root folder.

This behavior does not allow you to select the root directory. Instead, no folder should be selected, allowing the user to enter a blank line, hence the root directory.

Try this:

1. Create a .vscode directory in your project / workspace root.
   1. NOTE: In my case, the project / workspace root was also the repo root.
2. Create a settings.json file (assuming one doesn't already exist)
3. Add (or edit) the following settings

{
    "adrManager.adrDirectory": "docs/decisions",
    "adrManager.treatSingleRootAsMultiRoot": false
}

4. Run ADR Manager: Initialize ADR Directory

In my case, the docs/decisions folders already existed (but were empty) so when I ran ADR Manager: Initialize ADR Directory the extension prompted me with The ADR Directory already exists. Do you want to fill the directory with boilerplate Markdown files?. I said "Yes", and the extension put the files where I wanted them.
