Hi
When a project is first loaded, open file in workspace doesn't work, giving you an empty list. It doesn't work until you've opened a file using the solution explorer. Please, could this be fixed? |

We think the problem is that the OFIW dialog is empty until parsing of the project is complete.
Is this the case for you?

Judging by the status bar, it looks as if VAX doesn't do anything until the first file is opened. So if you open a project that happens to have a file open, you're OK; otherwise, VAX doesn't wake up to fill in the OFIW dialog.
(VS.NET crashes a lot for me and so quite often when reloading the solution no files are opened.) |

Umm... yeah, so in answer to your actual question, rather than a vaguely related bit of waffling:
Yes.

We like you humor, particularly on a Monday morning.
We can reproduce the problem. The OFIW dialog is empty until the first file is opened, and then until subsequent parsing is complete.
Unfortunately, we cannot fix the problem such that the OFIW is populated sooner. VA X learns what files are part of your project during the parse, eg what headers are #included. We will need a goofy message -- something about the command not being available yet. |

its been a long day, so goofy i can do 
how about:
"In the beginning was nothing, waiting for something to happen, something to give it substance. In much the same way VAX is waiting for the IDE to tell us there is something here, so we can start.
Please open a file so we start to parse :)"
perhaps not the message you want to go with, but somehow it seems apt  |
zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness |

But didn't previous versions of VAX start parsing before you openend the first file? However, it was only recently that I started using OFIW all the time, so I could be mistaken...
(I guess you could cache the files list per-project somewhere, and rebuild the list once a file is actually opened, under the assumption the project won't change unless it's been loaded into VC++, but I'm aware that these "simple" suggestions are quite often anything but. And this could break autogenerated projcets too.) |

Your "awareness" is correct. It's why we don't yet have a good workaround in this case. We can't even come up with a good hack.
Still on the list... relatively near the top. |
