i want to create class files but they are created in my /project/*.cpp and i want to create them automaticly in the /src/*.cpp folder. Same with the header files, they appear in the /project/*.h and they should go in the /includes/*.h. It is quite a pain when i need to write the new files path in the filters and move them into the correct folders

@shy swift you can also add existing files to the project. so you could create the file in the place you want and then add it. or remove the file from the project, move it in explorer, and then add it back to the project.

#

so many options ^^

Also @shy swift a small note, visual studio has a concept called filters these are virtual "folders" you can use to organize files but these don't map to a disk

#

you don't need to use those though
