Line Endings Unifier

Visual Studio 2010 version can be found here.

Line Endings Unifier is an extension which allows you to change line endings in a whole solution, a specific project, a chosen folder or a certain source file. Just right click on a solution, a project, a folder or a source file in the Solution Explorer to find the "Unify Line Endings" option.

You can go to the extension's options page:

Options -> Line Endings Unifier -> General Settings

to determine whether you want to have your line endings unified automatically on document save and to specify file extensions supported.

You can set the Default Line Ending to "Dominant" - the line ending type that occurs the most in a given file.

By default, after hitting "Save All" button all files from a loaded solution are unified. If you want to unify only files that are open in the editor on "Save All", set Unify Only Open Files On Save All to True.

The extension is capable of removing trailing whitespace characters while unifying newlines in your source files - you can turn on this feature by setting Remove Trailing Whitespace to True.

You can make the extension remember when and how files were unified by setting Track Changes to True - this will improve performance in some scenarios. Please note that this feature creates a ".leu" file in the solution directory.

Also, you can tell the extension to write some output to the Output window. To do this, set Write Report To The Output Window option to True.

To see the output from the extension, look at the Output window and set Show output from to Line Endings Unifier:
