Problem with Visual Studio 2017 Projects

Groupy 1.1

from Stardock Forums

I have created a group that includes two Visual Studio 2017 projects.  These projects fail to load with the error message that the project files cannot be found.  In the error message, the paths to the files are broken with new lines where spaces occur.  I have worked round this by editing the .groupy file to encase the paths in double-double quotes.  The project files now load, but they are not grouped automatically with the other files.  I have to group them manually.  Any ideas on solving this?

hello,

Could you post that .groupy file that you mentioned above. The one that you edited.

Thanks, I've pushed your problem our CM support Team. Hopefully someone with more info on this could help.

From what I know reading from Neil's comment on other thread that the NoPatternMatching need to be 1 for it to be group.

Anyway, Should wait for someone with more knowledge to comment on this.

NoPatternMatching would only be used if it launched the file not the exe and in the case of Visual Studio it is the exe it is launching with a command line rather than the file itself.

So it should be set to 0.

It is odd that it isn't grouping those visual studios together as without NoPatternMatching=1 all instances of visual studio should be being grouped automatically.

An issue with auto grouping Visual Studio and similar windows has been found in 1.1 and will be addressed in the next update.

Thank you for reporting this.
