I had exactly the same problem. In my case, it’s because I also use VisualAssist and so have the “Regular VC++ IntelliSense” option selected in the IntelliSense settings page. If I switch to “Advanced Clang IntelliSense” then the Code Explorer populates, but I loose the VisualAssist buttons and so I cannot take advantage of the Code Explorer which is a shame.

Amazing, thankyou! Works perfectly 🙂

Apologies for the terrible bug report! Here’s a clearer description of the issue.

1. Open VS
2. Create a new VGDB project with Custom Project Wizard
3. Click Next / Finish to create an empty project
4. Delete the empty Header files and Source files folders
5. Create an empty folder in File Explorer and call it Project
6. Inside the Project folder, create a folder called A
7. Inside the A folder, create a couple of empty files eg A1.h and A2.h
8. Inside the A folder still, create a folder called B
9. Inside the Bfolder, create a couple of files e.g B1.h and B2.h
10. Right click the project and click Add -> import folder recursively
11. Leaving “the folder is located on this computer” selected, browse to the Projectfolder created above and select it
12. EnableBypass "Source Files" and "Header Files" folders
13. Click OK
14. File tree is successfully imported as expected. (see Screenshot 1)
15. Inside the A folder in Windows File explorer, now create a C folder with c1.h and c2.hinside it.
16. Right click the A folder in the VS solution explorer and repeat steps 10,11&12 but selecting the C folder created in 15. (Screenshot 2)
17. At this point, I would expect the C folder to be created underneath the A folder in the project window but it doesn’t, it puts the c1.h files at the root of the project (screenshot 3)
18. What I would expect is to see screenshot 4. I think part of the issue is that the folder you select does not get created, only it’s contents, and it doesn’t place the contents at the level you selected in the tree.
19. The use case for this is working with a large project, where someone adds a new submodule, or folder and you want to import it into the project in a single step.
