This is happening to me all the time and it is quite annoying. Here is how I reproduce it:
- Create a new c++ project.(doesn’t matter which framework I choose)
- Add a new c++ class. (again, doesn’t matter if I choose a parent class)
- It doesn’t show up in the content browser, although the source file is created and it seems it compiles successfully.
Also, if I right click on existing class and choose ‘show in explorer’, it doesn’t open my source folder, instead it opens ‘My Documents’.
Below is the output log by doing the above steps. I didn’t know which part could help so I pasted the entire thing. Hope it is not too verbose…
