Update Projucer to save Visual Studio v12 files?

The Projucer
1

Pretty please? I’m getting a bit of git noise because VS2017 is resaving my solution files in format v12 and Projucer keeps reverting them to v11.

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00

Is it just the version number at the top of the .sln that is different?

Looks like there are a few other changes:

  • File format version changed from 11.00 to 12.00
  • Different descriptions and parameters relating to VS version
  • Hyphens in project name changed to underscores
  • Permutations of Win32 / x64 configurations
  • New GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals)

OK, thanks for the info. I’ll add it to our backlog.
