Of course, you could just name files like normal people, and avoid this problem altogether.

It can easily be made using the good old copy con command: c:\sob\csmf\pos\analpore>copy con: .wtf you are a useless pos ^Z 1 file(s) copied. etc. :)

Today I found another VS bug. Again present in both VS2008 and VS2010 flavors. :sigh: Not that it is a bad bug, it is purely cosmetic, but you would expect a company like MS to be professional and to find and fix a bug in the last 4 or more years (perhaps it does the same on older VS too, I dont have any to test with). Anyways, the bug: Open any file whose (file)name starts with a
.(a full-stop, eg .wtf). :doh: PS: I tried to find a report on the MS Connect site, but found no results. I could report this bug, but like MS I can't be bothered. Update: Here is what I and some of the others are seeing. The tooltip shows the correct text. http://i.imgur.com/zDUKB.png[^]xacc.ide

The problem being? I opened the file and edited it and then saved it. I id not find anything unusual except the tab title.

How did you manage to create a file named .wtf in the first place? Explorer does not let me do that.
pick one: - DOS - Command Prompt - most applications - CreateFile etc etc. For a moment you sounded like a computer user. :omg:

Are you referring to the bug where the filename does not appear in the tab(only the path)? Maybe they are using some open source code in there and it is respecting the fact that on Linux, files with names starting with "." are considered "hidden" files.
I think you stretched it too far.

as a developer, you would have to. It is an essential part of testing. :)

No problem with VS6.

Quite easy to rename from a command prompt.

I think it means hidden file in *nux

That is a work around my friend, however, a bug is a bug .. :)

Alright - when was the last time *you* accounted for filenames that start with a dot? If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with the IDE (in this instance).

I don't consider trying to break my filesystem with semi-illegal names to be an essential part of testing..
File names starting with
.are used commonly in unix land (it's the equivalent of hidden files there). And all unix tools ported to Windows keep using those file names. Surely you have some.svnfolder? Ever heard of Apache.htaccessfiles? Even the .NET installation creates some folders starting with a.! Just because Explorer is retarded doesn't mean those file names are illegal. They work in basically every other program except for Explorer and VS (and the VS bug is just cosmetic). It's perfectly possible to create a file called ".docx" with Word. Semi-illegal would be filenames such as "con" - Word doesn't let you save such files, and if you do create them (echo Test > \\.\c:\con), you won't be able to delete them in Explorer. -
