header flip macro

so the only other thing I use in wwhiz was the header flip. i found this and modified it..

in the process i for the first time actually looked at the macro stuff in vs. there is a sample macro called 'adddirasslnfolder'. it recurses files based upon a wildcards and makes a sln. sound familiar?

so maybe instead of running a python script to generate solutions and project files, maybe the best thing to do would be to make a macro. i wonder if you can even make the macro run via commandline.

i still may make my own addin. i don't think i want to play around with the disgusting C++ mfc/com code that the VSFileFinder source is. i looked at the 2003 c# automation example for a toolwindow and it's not so bad. c# really is the way to go if you must deal with com crap. anyway. if i had my way, the file globber would know how to complete using folder names too.

btw. i did try some registry hacking to trick wwhiz to run on vs8, but failed. i got an empty toolbar up, but that is as far as i got.

man. that stuff is disgusting. i mean.. who comes up with this stuff? they can't really be serious about the complexity involved for something so simple. these addins show up in literally 100+ places in the registry. what the hell is that about?
