Items not shown #575

A log of a .NET 6 app compiled using VS2022 and Project System Tools (via Open Logs External) is showing Targets and Properties but absolutely no Items at all (which makes interpreting the logs difficult); neither at the top level nor inside Targets. Search also does not report them.

(Also, when trying to use the integrated "Open Logs" within VS2022, it just reports a "value cannot be null" exception. But I guess that's a different project?)

When using VS2017, Items appear in the logs as expected, both in and out of VS.

Unfortunately this is a known problem with the VS extension and not something I can fix

Consider using https://msbuildlog.com/#MSBUILDDEBUGENGINE to get binlogs from VS instead of the legacy Project System Tools extension.
