Solution Folder Sync

Automatically synchronize your physical folder structure with Visual Studio Solution Folders.

Features

One-Click Sync: Right-click on your Solution in Solution Explorer and select "Sync Solution Folders" to automatically create matching Solution Folders for your physical directory structure.
Smart Detection:
- Skips hidden folders (starting with .)
- Skips common build folders (bin, obj, node_modules, packages, .vs, .git, TestResults)
- Stops at folders containing project files (.csproj, .vbproj, .fsproj, etc.)
Non-Destructive: Only creates new Solution Folders - never deletes existing ones or modifies your projects.

Usage

Open your solution in Visual Studio
Right-click on the Solution node in Solution Explorer
Select "Sync Solution Folders"
Review the summary showing folders created, skipped, and project folders found

Example

If your physical folder structure is:

MySolution/
├── src/
│   ├── MyApp/
│   │   └── MyApp.csproj
│   └── MyLib/
│       └── MyLib.csproj
├── tests/
│   └── MyApp.Tests/
│       └── MyApp.Tests.csproj
└── tools/
    └── BuildScripts/

After running Sync Solution Folders, your Solution Explorer will have:

src (Solution Folder)
- MyApp (Solution Folder) - contains project
- MyLib (Solution Folder) - contains project
tests (Solution Folder)
- MyApp.Tests (Solution Folder) - contains project
tools (Solution Folder)
- BuildScripts (Solution Folder)
