Filters vs Folders

[pubby8]

If I want to have my files arranged into seperate folders, usually I have to create a filter and a folder, and then manually edit both when I want to move things around. This is a big pain.

Is there a way to automatically have folders and filters be the same?

What's a filter?

What are you talking about ?

I'm assuming this is about the VS solution layout where you have 'folders' (which you add by choosing 'Add new filter').

And from this question I get that he wants the hierarchy of the actual physical files/directories on disk in the project dir to match the hierarchy in the VS solution.

1) you don't NEED this to be the case.
2) No it can't be done automatic by VS
3) You could make a VS addin that does this for you
