Auto-open File Structure?

Hello Chris,

in fact File Structure view window should remember its visibility state and
restore on the next startup. Could you please try the following:

1) Close all instances of VS
2) Launch a new instance of VS
3) Arrange File Structure view as you like it
4) Close the VS
5) Launch a new instance of VS and check if the File Structure view is visible
when you open a solution

Does this sequence work for you?

I love the File Structure view, but I hate having to always open it
myself. Is there an option to set somewhere to have R# always open it
on startup? If not, can I put a request for one?

Nope. When I open the FS view from R# -> Windows -> FS, it appears with
the Class View and Macro Explorer views. I shut down VS.NET, restart,
and it's just not there anymore. I don't see it anywhere else. And if I
re-open it manually, it re-appears with Class View / Macro Explorer.

I'm running build 259.

Maybe you should update to 266 (V2.0.2)

Oh, I see now - you're running ReSharper 2.0.x. In that version ReSharper
tool windows didn't correctly
persist its visibility state and position, it used to be a known issue. I
recommend that you upgrade
to the current EAP builds of ReSharper 2.5 where this problem (along with
many other issue) was fixed:

Hello Dmitry,

I'm using 2.5 build 213 and although the File Structure window does re-open
with VS start, it does not remember it's state i.e. whether it was docked
during the last shutdown or not.

Also, using 2.5/213 while the file structure window does re-open with VS
start, it does not display any data when VS loads the last opened
solution. To get it to display the structure of the active tab it must
be closed and re-opened. At time it even needs VS to be restarted with
the file structure window closed to cause it to display any data.

Sorry, 312 not 213, juxtaposing digits again. I have noticed this second
condition as well, only the most recent time I restated VS the File Structur
window did populate, so this will probably be a little difficult to nail
down.

Also, using 2.5/213 while the file structure window does re-open with
VS
start, it does not display any data when VS loads the last opened
solution. To get it to display the structure of the active tab it
must
be closed and re-opened. At time it even needs VS to be restarted

No. The fix required major changes that were (and won't be) not done in 2.0.x.

Hello Matthew,

so where does the file structure window appear when you start VS the next
time? I mean does it position resemble the one in the docked state?
Also, a couple of screenshots illustrating tool window layout on the first
and the next VS launch would be very helpful, because for me the experiment
runs just fine. Thanks.

Dimitry,

Attached are 3 screenshots (build 313)
- After opening a solution the window floats in the middle of the screen (even partly outside my VS window)
- After docking it in the editor window the file structure window remains empty.
- After unpinning and pinning it again, the window is filled correctly. (This solution of resyncing/rebirthing already works in 2.0 and is faster than closing/reopening)

Regards,
Erwin

Hello Erwin,

that's really odd. It looks like File Structure appears in the default position
each time you start VS, and it's definitely shouldn't happen.
Does the same problem happen to other ReSharper tool windows? Thanks.

When the File Structure window is blank, you can get it to populate by
resizing it. A little easier than closing and re-opening it.

Hello Richard,

How do you resize it when it is docked?

When the File Structure window is blank, you can get it to populate by
resizing it. A little easier than closing and re-opening it.

Hello Richard,

Sorry, cranial flatulence. Still, I should not have to resort to such mouse/keyboard
gymnastics to re-dock and view the contents on startup.

Resize the width of the column, or the height of the row, it is docked
in.

No, of course not.

I was just pointing out a workaround that requires less steps than closing
and re-opening the window.

Hello Richard,

Sorry, cranial flatulence. Still, I should not have to resort to such
mouse/keyboard gymnastics to re-dock and view the contents on startup.

Does the same problem happen to other ReSharper tool windows? Thanks.

No, as the screen shots may suggest, "Find Results" (Alt+F7) and "Type
hierarchy" stay docked in the tabbed area at the bottom. Only obvious
difference to me is that "File Structure" is not tabbed with other windows,
but has its own location
