Custom solution hierarchy

[jeffkl]

At the moment you cannot customize the hierarchy. I've been wanting to put in these features:

• Flat hierarch (no folders at all)
• Collapse single project folders (if a folder contains only a single folder, collapse it to something like src\foo\bar)
• Custom hierarchy

If you have time to contribute anything, please feel free!

For now we support having folders or not. Let’s re-open if more people request custom hierarchy

I think #466 and #467 are related.

A humble +1 for generating a sln file with a custom solution folder hierarchy for a set of project files (or a traversal project file).

As a work-around, here are some other tools which may allow this:

1. Run slngen multiple times for each subtree and then merge the multiple sln files into one using dotnet-slnmerge or merge-solutions
2. SubSolution

For reference, support for

Collapse single project folders (if a folder contains only a single folder, collapse it to something like src\foo\bar)

Was added with the --collapsefolders command line option.

It doesn't seem like there's an equivalent MSBuild property for it though.
