Working Files List is a Visual Studio 2015/2017 extension. It adds a tool window listing documents that have been opened for editing within Visual Studio. While each open document already has a tab within the Visual Studio editor, longer file names can lead to two situations:

  • Having wider tabs that show the entire file name, meaning less tabs are visible without scrolling.
  • Showing a truncated version of the file name, meaning it might not be possible to know exactly which file it refers to at a glance.

This extension adds a floating/dockable tool window that shows a vertically stacked list of open files.

Features

  • Sort by document project name
  • Sort by document name/recently used order
  • Group by project
  • Automatically assign list entry colours based on project
  • Optionally show parent directories names for each open document
  • File type icons
  • Ability to pin files
