Can VA add a command(or a button, i think they are identical :) ). when I invoke this command, VA will open a explorer window with the directory which stores my current project? -- This is very useful I think.
(I think maybe you can open the directory which .sln resides. I have wrote a plugin which can do this but I prefer to use functions which come from VA.)
Thank you. |

how does your plugin handle a workspace containing several projects? if you have already thought about this i can pass on the thinking. i have seen this request before so it is probably time to raise a case for this.
would you be willing to post your plugin to codeproject.com, or somewhere else, as a temporary work around for those who are interested? |

I have this for ages in my VS.
Tools -> External...
Simply create a new external tool. Since I do not know the exact english terms, heres a screenshot of the german version:

Hello all,
I also think this is a very good idea.
I've not only done this for the Explorer, but also for the Command Prompt.
Since "$(TargetDir)" points to the Release or Debug directory, I prefer using "$(TargetDir)\\..".
Thanks for the good question (timepp) and for the good solution (WannabeeDeveloper).
With kind regards,
Patrick Luja
P.S. In English, this menu item is called "Tools|External Tools...". |

There are many Makros available through the small dropdown-button in the dialog. As far as I can recall, there is $(ProjectDir), $(SolutionDir) etc. choseable.
The Only Problem I have with this one is when you have opened up a h/cpp-file not belonging to the current project, it opens up the Explorer with my "My Documents" Folder showing. So, VS doesn't seem to be able to determine the solution/project for the active file if it doesn't belong to the current open project.

VS6 is slightly different. It's Tools->Customize->Tools...
For the argument and directory, there's an option for $(FileDir) that will open explorer to the directory for an opened file. |
