Generate C++ Filters

Simple Extension which provide the ability to generate C++ project filters to replicate the folder hierarchy of the underlying sources

It was originally made to browse easily C++ code hosted on a Linux machine while benefiting of the Visual Studio's features (e.g. GUI, Go to Definition / Declaration, Compile / Debug through SSH, ...)

Installation

• Download the *.vsix package from the latest release
• Double click on the downloaded package and follow the instructions

Example Usage

Open an existing C++ solution

Right click on the project for which you want to generate the filters per folder, a menu Generate C++ Project Filters will appear (only appearing when right-clicking on a C++ project)

Click on Generate C++ Project Filters, a confirmation will be required to generate the filters

Once the filters are generated, the extension will automatically reload the current project if needed. Accept the changes made by the extension by clicking yes

As a result, your C++ project will have filters that replicate your C++ sources folder hierarchy
