Change Author in new Projects (Read 3997 times)

	After creating a new Project or Library Project I got some pre filled files like in the attached png. I would like to change the "Author: "-field value without losing the timestamp and projectname, but I can't find any location, where an Author is mentioned. How can I do that? I already looked in [Visual Studio 2017 community]\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VC\General\", but if it's there, I don't know how this setting is named. All general VS- and Visual-Micro-Settings didn't had any effect at all. Thanks in advice, Teluel

	I think we just use the standard visual studio user name. Your screen shot does not show the top of the IDE where you can see your user/account name. What does that show?

	I'm logged in with my VS-Account. The author "Test" seems to come from my win7-User-Account

	Which menu or wizard command(s) are you using to create the code files? In most cases the visual studio template param $username$ is used. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/eehb4faa.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-21472173... You can create your own templates they are just zip files. The visual micro assembly location is shown in tools>options>visual micro>system>assemblylocation. There is a project templates folder with the zip files of the templates but vs might have copied them to another location. There are a few visual studio template locations which can be found in tools>options

	Thank you very much. I found the directory where you're templates are stored after looking in tools>options>visual micro>system>assemblylocation and made my own templates.

	Great. Hopefully you put your templates in one of the standard vs template folders so when you update visual micro your templates continue to be available? (Visual studio changes the install folder for every update of visual micro)

	No, I put them in my git repository. And I don't know why the location of my templates matters. I mean, if there would be a conflict with the template after an update of visual micro, should that concern the templates in standard vs template folder as well, or do I missing something? Anyway, I keep in mind, that there could be some issues after an update of visual micro. Thanks for the advice.

	The only benefit of the standard vs folders is that they will still exist are a visual micro update. If you created new/clone templates then Visual studio won't see your templates after a visual micro update because the visual micro folder name will change.
