Feature Request: Visual indication of working folder

Post by OzPeter » Mon May 29, 2006 4:08 pm

Hi there,
I have looked for this functionality in the documentation but have not seen anything like what I want (or in any previous discussions).

What I would like to see is an indication in the project tree display showing where a working folder has been set. This could simply be a slightly different icon from the normal project folder icons. (Either in colour or shape or both).

My desire for this was a problem I had with a malformed Visual Studio project file (caused by bad hand editing after being copied from an exisiting project) which reset the working folder of the original SOS project! As both projects had very similar names it was not immediatley obvious from the text display of the working folder as to where the change in working folder started to take effect. An icon that shows when the working directory of a project differs from its parent would have saved my somoe heartache :-)

I'll log this as a feature request to be considered in a future release. Thanks for the feedback.
