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

No problem with VS6.

How did you manage to create a file named .wtf in the first place? Explorer does not let me do that.
Quite easy to rename from a command prompt.

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

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. -

The problem being? I opened the file and edited it and then saved it. I id not find anything unusual except the tab title.
-
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...
Maybe it's a culture setting.

Just curious, what exactly are you seeing? does it crash? or is it the tab display that others are reporting? Or something else?

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

A lot of programming books use ".NET [something]" as a book title, and the matching .PDF starts with a leading dot. Adobe Reader, Foxit, etc don't complain about the filename at all. Mind you, if it weren't for this particular example, I'd totally agree with you...especially considering that *Explorer*, of all things, won't let you name files as such.
