Disappearing folders in Visual Studio

[Poul Haahr Klemmensen]

I have divided one of my Visual Studio projects into "subsystems" using folders to make it easier to navigate between logically seperate subsystems. But my problem is that after a while these folders disappeared. It really annoys me because it takes quite a long time to sort my classes into these folders. Is this a known problem and is there anything I can do to solve the problem?

The folder information is stored in the project's .opt file, so you'll need to protect if from beeing removed or overwritten. Or, if you're using a version control system, you could have it checked in, checking it out when you make changes to the class tree... I don't know why they disappear, but it's bothering me as well.

:)Thanks that helped i will try and protect that .opt file by moving it into sourcesafe.

This is no good. This is a VS6 bug, and I had to surrender with it. Now I divide a workspace into subprojects when I want to have my classes separated/grouped. Regards, BB
