What makes a project a VS Arduino project? Using VS templates

Hi,
I have created a project template from an existing Arduino project to use as a template for new projects.
It isn't created completely (the data directory is missing, for example) but I'm aware of this (and reported it to MS but there was little interest..)

Now when I use the template I get a new project with the new name but the original xxx.ino file. The project doesn't open as a VM project but as a 'normal' vs project.

I had to rename the xxx.ino file to the same as the new project directory then hunt down and rename the .ino entries in the vs files. Then it did appear as a vm project.

Can this be automated/added to VM as I'm sure I've seen someone asking before for an easy way to clone a project.

In the Arduino IDE we only have a folder name and an .ino code file name that must be the same. That is an Arduino project.

Visual Micro applies the same rules plus one extra rule. The project name must also be the same. If all three conditions are true Visual Micro will assume a standard VC++ project requires Arduino assistance.

If you look near the end of the Global Options you will see where Visual Micro is installed. There is a ProjectTemplates folder with the zips that the Visual Micro File>New>Project dialog uses. They might be useful.
