Show the VS appdata directory

Open AmadeusW opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Installed product versions

  • Visual Studio: 2017 RC
  • This extension: 1.10

Description

Visual Studio 2017 allows for side by side installs, and as a VS extension developer I would like to know what is the relevant activity log, cache or extensions directory. 2016-12-20_16h12_46

Current behavior

Developer needs to memorize the ID or search for most recently modified file to find the correct ID

Expected behavior

ExtensibilityTools extension allows user to see current VS location within %appdata%

P.S.

I've got working code for this, and I'd like to ask you

  • should I proceed with the PR?
  • does it belong in this extension or Clear MEF Cache?
  • Should this be visible at all times in status bar, or should it live as a menu item?

Never mind: I just saw that View > Activity Log shows the log and its URL. Adding a command to go to the folder now seems redundant. C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_ce118b0e\ActivityLog.xml
