Enable and support the "Show All Files" button in solution explorer

description

This VS button is very useful for being to see all the files in your project folder w/o manually having to add them to the project file. Like image files, other resources, etc.

This is a feature but we should disable the button until we implement the feature.

Removed the button, we need to do a bunch of work to support the feature.

Feature needs to be added so that python webdev is possible (html, javascript, css files, etc.)

The need for this feature arrises all the time. For example, if when working on a project in source control (eg. svn) another contributor adds a new folder and/or files to the project I have to be aware that this was added and then go through the painful process of adding them. In a C# project this is trivial using the Show All Files button and using the "Include in Project" / "Exclude from Project" menu items, which we also sorely need.

Any update on supporting this feature?

No official updates yet, but it's certainly on our radar. We'd obviously love to have it in our next release (or any of our previous releases...) but it will depend on time/developer allocations.

As someone that works on multi-environment teams, this feature would be extremely useful as it would help me quickly getting up to date with project structures that are changed by other devleoppers not using VS. Right now I have to add new files by using the "Add existing item" dialog, which is quite painful...
