Hi All
I installed both ESP ADF and IDF.
Since ESP ADF embeds ESP IDF, does it make sense keeping ESP IDF ?
It seems the directories esp-adf/esp-idf/ is similar to the esp-idf I installed at the beginning, both contains IDF components.
Any tip would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

ADF is bound to a specific version of IDF; that's the reason it's included. For ADF projects, we suggest that you use that IDF version / folder. For non-ADF projects, the choice is yours: if you're happy with whatever version ADF has, then you can delete your original IDF folder and use the one in ADF if you so prefer.

When working with ADF, should one set IDF_PATH to point to the idf folder inside the ADF folder? Or does setting “ADF_PATH” somehow override “IDF_PATH”? Does the order of specifying these paths matter?

I’m interested specifically in understanding this with the VSCode extension; it’s unclear to me how one might set these paths per project, rather than a configuration of the extension itself.
