Meir,
I’m guessing you never opened a Visual Studio Solution? When I do that, the Project Plug-in also allows me
to
- generate and view a list of symbols,
- change the default configuration of the Solution,
- change the default platform,
- Build/Clean/Rebuild the solution
- Check files in and out of Source Safe
in its Visual Studio configuration ( which is installed along side the EmEditor template – I certainly never set that up).
The plug-in itself It also lets me to create new solution templates (similar to EmEditor’s configuration) that contain tools, set up new keyboard shortcuts for that template, and set up new configurations and platforms with their own macros. There might be more, but that’s all I see on the menu.
It also has its own toolbar that allows access to all that.
That’s why I say the plug-in is more heavy weight.
