Solution explorer shows negative number of projects in solution #1

Hello, I encountered a bug, but maybe it's Visual Studio's fault and not this extension's. But I figured it's better to start here.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create new solution, and two projects inside: Project1 and Project2.
  2. Make a reference to Project2 in Project1.
  3. "Filter projects"
  4. In the pop-up window, deselect Project2
  5. Ensure that the button "Load dependencies of selected objects" is active.
  6. OK

Expected behaviour: Nothing changes.

Outcome: In the solution item, it says "2 of 1 project".

If we repeat this procedure a few more times, we will get negative number of projects ("2 of -3 projects")

Hi, thanks for reporting this. I can reproduce this as well. As far as I can tell, this is a bug in Visual Studio. I've reported the bug at Developer Community, but I'll leave this issue open just in case it's something caused by the extension.

Hi, This is really good tool for quickly loading and unloading a projects. Is it possible to extend this to include two checkbox for each project. other checkbox is to also select that projects in multiple start-up project configuration. It will be very useful feature.

The upstream issue has been closed, and will not be fixed by the Visual Studio team, so I'm going to close this one off as well since there's nothing I can do about it.
