Unable to store '.markdownlint.json' in any other location than root

[NinjaMonkeyGames]

Description

I want to store my config file in the .config folder not in the root. I am using the following line in my settings.json "markdownlint.configPath": "../.config/.markdownlint.json" I am at a total loss as how to work around this. I believe this to be a bug. If it's not I apologize but would still appreciate some guidance.

Environment

Running client from the store 0.52.0. On the server side 0.13.0 but that's irrelevant to this problem. The --config is fine. It's the VSC extention that's the issue.

MDL Version

0.52.0 (vsc client)

Expected Behavior

When I put the alternative path in the settings.json it should now look for the config in that new location.

Actual Behavior

The client still lints but does not take into account the new config location.

Replication Case

• Install from the marketplace
• Create markdownlint.json (Works fine in the root so no need to include my rules here)
• Add the following line "markdownlint.configPath": "../.config/.markdownlint.json" to settings.json

I apologise in advance if I have created a duplicate issue. I raised it as a separate ticket yesterday but was unable to find it again. It's possible I did not submit it or something like that.
