Unable to create a file of a specific template in a specific folder

[Netris89]

Describe the Issue

With the solution explorer before the change, you could right click or click on the add new file button on a folder in the solution explorer and it would ask you to select a template then it would create that file in the folder you chose and adjust the namespace accordingly.
This is not the case in the new version. If you right click or click on the add file button on a folder in the view, it creates a basic file and you have to create the skeleton yourself. If you want the template, you have to open the command palette and select .Net : New File. This allows you to select the right template, but, unless I'm mistaken, creates the file at the root of the directory. You then have to move it in the folder you wanted and change the namespace.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Right click on a folder
2. Click on New File

Expected Behavior

The file is created in the right folder with the proper namespace.

Environment Information

• OS : Windows 11
• VSCode Version : 1.120
• Extension version : 3.20.195

@Netris89 The item was removed from the right-click menu due to extremely low usage. To add a file from our available templates, please use the ".NET: Add file" command from the command palette, which will prompt you to select the project you want before creating the file. You shouldnt have to move it after the fact, if you are in fact seeing that please file another bug

@claudiaregio While I understand it was removed because of low usage, I feel the previous workflow was more discoverable and straightforward.

I actually only just understood now how to create a file in a specific folder using the current workflow.

Even if bringing the context menu entry back is not planned, the current approach requires more clicks and feels a bit more convoluted compared to the previous behavior, especially since the old workflow automatically handled both the target folder and namespace adjustment directly from Solution Explorer.
