Lightweight configuration manager for solution files (.sln)

LightSolutionManager

Configuration manager for dotnet solution files (.sln).

Issues and PRs are welcome!

Project is written in F# with UI provided by Avalonia.FuncUI

Why?

VisualStudio provides configuration manager to edit individual projects setting mappings between solution setting (e.g. Debug|x64) and project setting (Debug|x86, Build: true) which allows to disable build for individual projects or to change project configration and platform.

Problem with builtin manager is that mostly you want to make solution setting correspond to project setting (sln: Debug|x64 proj: Debug|x64 instead of sln: Debug|x64 proj: Debug|AnyCPU) which might be tedious to change because you need to change setting for every platform (Any CPU, x64, x86, ARM) and every configuration (Debug, Release, CustomConf, AnotherCustomConf). This becomes especially hard when amount of projects grows beyond 50 and IDE hangs every time configuration or platform is changed.
