So that shiny IDE is not so new under the covers [modified - added image]

[Rama Krishna Vavilala]

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

[Luc Pattyn]

pick one: - DOS - Command Prompt - most applications - CreateFile etc etc. For a moment you sounded like a computer user. :omg:

You need to spell this bug out a bit more. I have Visual C++ 2010 Express and can open similarly named files with no problems.

It's time for a new signature.

I just don't try to break things on purpose :)

[Mladen Jankovic]

I think you stretched it too far.

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

I don't consider trying to break my filesystem with semi-illegal names to be an essential part of testing..

Anyways, the bug: Open any file whose (file)name starts with a . (a full-stop, eg .wtf).

No problem with VS6.

I think it means hidden file in *nux

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).

Never, in fact as per most of the organizations coding standards, you cannot keep any special character in the file name :)

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 .svn folder? Ever heard of Apache .htaccess files? 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.

[Lost User]

So it's more of a bug in Explorer I guess - still, it's not my job to find ways to give files names that you shouldn't give them.

Like a couple others here... I tried this in both VS2k10 and VS2k5 and don't see any issues. I don't even see any issue with the tab display like other people are reporting.. Hmm...

[kinar]

Mine even showed a correct tab title... both VS2k10 and VS2k5
