Temporarily move solution explorer root
I have a workflow where I try to divide my systems into plugins, sometimes I'm exclusively working in a particular plugin but it's so deeply nested that it's insane especially for the amount of actual files in the plugin. Is there a way to temporarily set the root of the solution explorer to a specific folder? I'd be really nice to add if it's not already a thing.

Hello!
There is no way of temporarily changing the solution root, unfortunately.
You can create several solutions or use solution filters.
The nesting depth of projects in the solution does not have to be the same as in the file system. You can create a top-level solution and attach a very nested project file to the top level in it.
I hope this helps!
Hello!
Thanks for the reply. Solution filters sound like they would work great for my use case. However when I try to create one I get this error
I'm trying to save the solution filter to the same location as the solution of my project but it doesn't work. I should also mention I'm working with Unreal Engine 5, maybe that's relevant.
Hi!
Probably, there is an issue related to Solution filters with UE projects. Could you please try to create a solution filter and collect logs via Help | Collect logs and troubleshooting data? Upload the logs to our server and share the upload ID.
Also, do you have .sln files related to your solution?
Thanks!
