VS Plugin Creator




Hello everybody,

I was trying some plugins a couple days ago and was bored of creating VS Projects by hand for each plugin, so I made this simple tool.

You just have to set where's your Hercules is, the VS version you want to create projects for and where it should create on. The list of files in your src/plugins folder will be shown so you can choose which plugins you want to create VS Projects for. Also, it saves your settings so you don't have to fill these inputs everytime.

It requires .NET Framework 2.0 or newer and probably will run only on Windows (I think there's no need for other OSes, right? xD)

If you find any issues with it, let me know and I will try to fix it.

I still have to manually go to VS and right-click > Add Existing Project ... ?

well ... I have over 40 plugins ... and the 1st thing that came to my mind is ... there is no [Select All] button ...

I have to click the box 1 by 1 ...
yeah sorry ... I made a lot of plugins and I thought your tool actually help fix my plugin installation faster

Yes, you would need to "Add existing project" if you want to put them all in the same solution, you just don't have to do the copy/paste/replace thing. I'm not sure if I can auto generate a solution too, will try to do it.

Didn't thought about a [Select All], will add it!

Thanks

Edit

@AnnieRuru done, solutions and [Select All]. Thanks for the suggestions

I just wrote up something similar, but this looks much better (with GUI and adds project to Visual Studio).

Great work @KirieZ!

@KirieZ thank you so much for this tool! would be even nice if it supported vs 15 and 16 version too (I know we can still open 14 without problem, but xD)
