	I am running Visual Studio Community 2017 (15.6.6) + Visual Micro 1806.1.0. When I try to File -> Open -> Arduino Project and point it to the only file in my project, I get the error in a message box: Code Unable to find a sketch called src in folder C:\Users\bmayland\Documents\GitHub Projects\AlarmHomie\src The source file is C:\Users\bmayland\Documents\GitHub Projects\AlarmHomie\src\AlarmHomie.ino, which is what I selected, but it won't create the project at all. If I rename the INO file to src.ino it works fine. However, this creates a project called "src". Is there a new requirement that all Arduino projects' folders have to be named the same as the project? I have a ton of projects I use Visual Micro for and they all have their source code in "src" or "src/arduino" which means all my VisualMicro projects would be named either src or arduino which would be hell. Existing projects work fine, it appears to be only be an issue creating a new project.

	Hi The project is called AlarmHomie.ino AlarmHomie.ino should be in C:\Users\bmayland\Documents\GitHub Projects\AlarmHomie The \src folder was designer for "more" code not for the main project .ino files. An arduino project has historically been a folder containing an .ino of the same name. It sounds like some developers have got confused about the structure of an arduino project and it's possible that arduino.cc have now allowed this structure so I will check and add support for it if need be but it seems confusing. In the meantime move .ino files into C:\Users\bmayland\Documents\GitHub Projects\AlarmHomie
