Inmeta.VisualStudio.TeamExplorer.BuildExplorer

The Inmeta Build Explorer adds Folders to the Team Explorer Builds. This is a client based solution and works with the Visual Studio 2010 Team Explorer.

The folders are created based on separators in the Build Definition name. The default separator is the punctuation mark (.).
A user can change this separator per team project, and all users of the team project will use this setting.
