problem description: after opening a workspace all files are listed in OFIW window, after working some time OFIW only shows files belonging to one project. as mentioned in the other thread ALT-G doesn't work in the rest of the files (though reparsing the cpp's fixes the ALT-G problem for the reparsed file).
It also seems that in this situation devstudio consumes a lot of cpu-power so that's nearly impossible to use it (minimizing and restoring via processexplorer fixes the cpu-waste and makes the IDE responsive again)
the only way to fix the OFIW problem is closing/reopening the workspace, which is not realy a work around because in our situation this would take about 5 minutes and doing this once or twice per hour interrupts the dayly workflow significantly.
alternative workaround until next build: disable VA Options|Text Editor|C/C++ watch for externally modified files side-affect of workaround: changes made externally will not be picked up by VA and files added/removed to projects will not be picked up until workspace is re-opened.
hellos sean, this seams to be a known problem. if i think about your post, it's very likly that this was the trigger. maybe the problem occurs more frequently because i'm sometimes tired fighting the DevStudio project settings dialog and open the dsp file in a text editor, change something (e.g. compiler switches), save the dsp file and let DevStudio detect the changes and reload the project.
