+The packages to be excluded have to be seperated by commas, each with quotation marks and all inside square brackets.
+The path should be relative to the currently active folder, which can be selected by the command `File: Open Folder...`. The statement or excecution files can be given as a single relative path, or as a list of relative paths.

+The statement files should contain precompile statements of the form `precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.sin), Float64})`, and the excecution files should contain function calls for which the methods should be compiled. 
 
 The build task creates a sysimage that includes all packages in the current Julia environment. This sysimage is saved in the same folder where the `Project.toml` and `Manifest.toml` of the current Julia environment are stored. The name of the sysimage file will be `JuliaSysimage.dll` (Windows) or `JuliaSysimage.so`. 
 
 ## Using custom sysimages
 
 When the Julia extension starts a new Julia REPL process, the extension first looks for a custom sysimage file for the current Julia environment. The extension then verifies whether the custom sysimage file is up to date by comparing the last modified date of the sysimage file to the last modified date of the `Manifest.toml` file. If an up to date sysimage file exists, the Julia extension automatically starts the Julia REPL process with the custom sysimage loaded. 
-This requires the `useCustomSysimage` field to be set to `true` in the application settings of the extension.
