Download this extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace or get the CI build.
Inspired by a popular Visual Studio feature request on Developer Community.
Gives access to all files and folders from the file system under the repo- or solution root folder. All in the same Solution Explorer view.
Add any folder you want by right-clicking the solution node and select Add > Existing Folder.
If you enjoy using the extension, please give it a ★★★★★ rating on the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Should you encounter bugs or if you have feature requests, head on over to the GitHub repo to open an issue if one doesn't already exist.
Pull requests are also very welcome, since I can't always get around to fixing all bugs myself. This is a personal passion project, so my time is limited.
Another way to help out is to sponsor me on GitHub.
