Sorry if I'm duplicating the problem report but I've searched the forum and have found only similar problems, like:
http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6298
http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5681
http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5561
and maybe
http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6374
The problem can be reproduced very easily in my case (VA 1559, VS 2005 SP1 running on XP SP2 box):
1. Create new plain Win32 project and name it for example "proj"
2. Add to that project files named "proj.test.h" and "proj.test.cpp"
That's all. Now pressing ALT-O in either "proj.test.h" or "proj.test.cpp" would suggest me both "proj.h" and "proj.cpp" instead of silently switching to correct file. This is how it looks on my machine (I've also provided the file tree of the project for your reference):
 -  - 
What is interesting is that for "proj.h" and "proj.cpp" ALT-O works properly and if I remove dot (.) from problematic file names (i.e. rename them to "projtest.h" and "projtest.cpp") everything also works as expected, without any problems and wiered suggestions.

That makes sense  Personally I use underscores in file names as separators. This works well, and avoids any possible problems due to confusion with multiple dots in file names. |

No-no, there are no strong reasons for that.
I just like long file names consisting of more than one word to look like that, with a dot separator between words.
But with the same success I just can use capital letters for file name, like ProjFile.cpp, and it's really acceptable for me.
I accidently found this strange behavior of VA and decided it might be useful to report it.

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.
case=8177
This only happens if there are files in the solution that match the first section of the problem file name, the section before the first dot. If the file names are more unique then alt-o works correctly on files with two dots in their names.
Is there some reason why you are using file names with two dots in them for you code? |
