[CMake] Visual Studio solution folders with 1 item in them

[Andrei Porumb]

Hello Parag,

                I am very sorry to say that your suggestion achieves something different (similar, but different). SOURCE_GROUP creates a "project filter" (that's an entity under a project). A "project filter" is not a "solution folder" (yeah, they look very similar). Picture included with a solution folder and a project filter.

                What I want is to place some random files under the solution folder. These files are not CMake targets.

Couldn’t you use the source_group() command to do this? That is how I arbitrarily group my source files into folders within Visual Studio.

What you are suggesting will  add some previously build targets to the solution inside a solution folder. What I want is to simply have a file inside a solution folder.

Hello CMake,

                Thank you for everything so far!

                I am migrating some cross platform projects to CMake. Naturally our devs (myself included) like things to look "in a certain way". And if "certain way" can be produced by CMake then adoption is smoothened.

                That being said, this is the issue at hand. How can I instruct CMake to produce some harmless Visual Studio solution folders having some non-target items in them? (I know how to insert targets under Visual Studio solution folders, but I need simple files). Like in the picture below. Notice that "Specs" solution folder contains 3 items, a text file, a bitmap and a sequenceDiagram, none of which are CMake targets.

                Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
