Add automatically IncludeInVSIX for new file

[Mysterious-Dev]

Hi there !

I wanted to know, for a future PR, I want to work on a new template and I want to know if it's possible to add auto automatically, the field IncludeInVSIX with VS 17.6.2 (because editing everything by hand is a real pain ^^) ?

There's no such toling I'm aware of.
If you want to create something that might be useful.
I do this by selecting all the files I'm adding at once (in the Solution Explorer) and then applying the setting once (for all.)

Of course, if you found (knew of) a way to use wildcards to include all files in the Templates Folder that might be even better ;)

I don't exactly understand what you do to add IncludeInVSIX field to multiple files ^^'

Multi-select items in the Solution Explorer, then, in the properties window, select (or double-click) the "Include in VSIX" option.

When I originally set up the solution this way, (for VS2022) I did write a script to set all the elements in the project file correctly. I odn't have that script any more, but it was just basic XML manipulation. I am now curious if there's a way to do it with a wild card though....

Thanks ^^, I keep this discussion opened (until this is considered "useless").
