Generate Folders using Sln Source

[TonyValenti]

Hi All,
We have an SLN that has 700 projects in it.

We are using SLNGEN to generate smaller solutions so we don't have to load the big behemoth into VS.
The problem we are running into is folders.
SLNGEN seems to have two options RE folders:

• No Folders at all
• OR Folders based on the file system.

Our master SLN has the projects organized the way we want.

Is there a way to make SLNGen use the folders that are sourced from a master SLN?

Right - at the moment, we do not currently support generating folders from the solution file. Note that the intended functionality of this tool is to create a VS solution based on the project references of a given project.

Will provide an update as to whether or not we want to support this functionality in the future.

Hi @mruxmohan4 -
I just wanted to post a nudge on this.

It would be really nice if slngen preserved the organization of projects based on the source SLN.
Do you know if ya'll can incorporate this into a future update?

Hi @TonyValenti, this is a feature request which we may be able to support once the new vs-solutionpersistence library is in use (and we are using respective APIs). However, it is not a priority item and will be revisited later this quarter.
