Resource Refactoring Tool

Created Issue: Cannot refactor when using Source Control on VS2008

JoukeNuman — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:16:33 GMT

When refactoring a project under source control (Rational ClearCase), refactoring fails when updating the source file with the message "Refactoring aborted because file DicomFileReader.cs is read only and can not be edited.". It doesn't
checkout the file. When I manually checkout the file, make a change and do Save All (making the file writable), refactoring still gives me the same error, which is strange because the file is now writable. The string IS added to the
resoure file. When I add a new resource file with the Tool the project file is checked out correctly.

I installed it and didn't see it in either vs2005 or vs2008.
So first I have removed bug with double backslash tnx Darkbreet.
Then I added path %Application Data%\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins
In Tools->Options=>Add-in/Macros Security in visual studio.

P.S. I added full path instead of %Application Data% so if the above doesn't work try full path.

Hope it helps

When both Visual Studio 2008 and 2005 are installed, the Resource Refactoring Tool is not installed on Visual Studio 2008.

Same thing happens to me. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 on Vista x64. When I was using Orcas, the tool was working, now not.

CREATED ISSUE: The tool does not see public resources

nuwanda — Sun, 25 May 2008 18:42:49 GMT

I have public resource generated by PublicResXFileCodeGenerator and when I choose to refactor to resource the combo does not show me this resource. This is a VS2008 feature.

CREATED ISSUE: Preview-Window should remember Position and Size

Same problem here.

Even when vs2005 removed, I can't see the Refactor -> Extract to Resource in VS2008.
Addin Manager is ok.

I've installed the last version of the add-in to work with it in VS 2008 v9.0.21022.8 RTM and it doesn't work in the sense that the menu item is not displayed in the pop-up menu.
I've looked into the ResourceRefactor.Addin and I've found the following:

<Assembly>C:\Program Files\Power Toys for Visual Studio\Resource Refactoring Tool\\Microsoft.VSPowerToys.ResourceRefactor.dll</Assembly>

It looks like a typing error to me, with no complaints raised about it by the host!.

Furthermore, I've checked the documentation for VS 2008 about the .Addin file, and I got to this:

*Following is an example of a local path location. In this case, the src parameter is set to file to indicate the local location of the add-in's DLL:
<Assembly src="file">C:\Documents and Settings\jdoe\Application Data\Microsoft\Visual Studio\8.0\AddIns\MyAddin4.dll</Assembly>

It looks like the src parameter specification is missing as well. After having fixed that in my .Addin file

<Assembly src="file">C:\Program Files\Power Toys for Visual Studio\Resource Refactoring Tool\Microsoft.VSPowerToys.ResourceRefactor.dll</Assembly>

I've run VS 2008 but still I cannot manage to get the menu item showing up in the pop-up menu. I'm sure the file is read by the host because I've also edited the <Description> tag's value and it's correctly reproduced in the Add-in Manager description.

I have no time to dig deep into the problem to investigate further at the moment, but I hope someone else find this info somewhat useful.

running "devenv.exe /setup" did not resolve the problem.

I cannot get this to work in vs2008. It does not appear in the Add-in Manager. The addin description is installed in local profile, and that directory is included in the add-in search list.

I have had vs 2005 installed, but have removed it, but this did not solve the problem.

FWIW this works fine for me. I have VS2005 and VS2008 installed and the Resource Refactoring Tool installs and runs fine in both VS2005 and VS2008. I didn't have to take any additional steps to get it to work.

You might be able to solve the problem by running "devenv.exe /setup" from Visual Studio 9.0 command prompt.

NEW POST: Different Licenses

davedev — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 03:25:41 GMT

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed this tool (it seems like it's going to be useful) and I noticed that the Microsoft Permissive License (Ms-PL) is displayed by the installer but the Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL) is used on CodePlex. Someone should probably sync them.

If you have VS 2008, could you check from Tools -> Add-in Manager to see if Resource Refactoring is visible there, also the addin description is installed to local profile\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins folder. You can check to see if that directory is included in add-in search list from Tools->Options=>Add-in/Macros Security in visual studio.

Thanks,
Bertan

I tried pulling down the latest bits and building myself... but that doesn't work as I don't have Wix installed. Can someone please publish a release that has support for VS 2008 baked in?

Thanks.

Same problem. It worked fine with the beta version, once I upgraded, it stopped working.

NEW POST: Dialog Sizing

bodosander — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 13:32:21 GMT

At my first look at this helpfull refactoring (I didn't use it for real jet.), I missed the dialog sizing ability. I think resource names and values are usualy longer than the maximum column width, so expanding the dialog size is necessary.
Additionally it would be nice to be able to step into a cell and scroll the content by cursor.
