This is just an annoying thing that started happening recently and I was wondering if someone could help me.
In “Solution Explorer” folder view quit being the default view for my project for some unknown reason. Every time I open the project I have to re-enable folder view. When I re-enable folder view then the “VisualGDB Debugger” drops from being the startup item so I have to manually build and start my project from the “Debug” menu. Attached images hopefully explain the issue better.
Thanks!
Martin
Hi,
This looks like something on the Visual Studio level and not on VisualGDB level. Please try checking if the same happens for a regular Win32 C++ project that is not based on VisualGDB.
If you can confirm that the problem is specific to VisualGDB projects, we can help you resolve it, however we would kindly ask to renew your support first, as it has currently expired.
I can confirm that this also happens with plain Win32 C++ projects.
It looks like that the problem is on the Visual Studio level.
I’m using Visual Studio 2019 v. 16.5.0 Preview 1
@MystikReasons, Thank you for confirming that this is not an issue with VisualGDB.
I create a ticket in the developer community
@Mystikreasons Cool! Thanks for doing this.
@martinf You’re welcome
They told me that this is by design (see the website for more detailed informations).
Ok, well I guess I’ll just live with it then. Thanks for your help!
For what it’s worth I figured out what occurred. I must have unchecked the “show all files” button somewhere along the way causing every file to show in Solution Explorer under a list. By re-checking “show all files” I was able to put everything back in the categorized view I prefer. I noted that it looks very much like folder view but I guess it’s not the same thing. Anyway this value is “sticky” when VS is closed and reopened.
