Hey GA30,

What you have found is rather a bug (or feature :-) than intention. Thanks for finding it. If you would try to modify the VSXtra source and correct this bug and check it, I would be very happy. If you have the modifications done, you can upload them to CodePlex as a patch.

re: LearnVSXNow! #17 - Creating a simple custom editor — under pressure

Inovak,

I am using VSExtra as the framework for a custom editor I am working on. I have a question for you regarding EditorPaneBase. In here you are storing the path to the editor file in the _FileName field. But I see this field is not being updated in IVsPersistDocData.RenameDocData when the file is renamed. So when I save the file after having renamed it the save is saved to its old file name. I changed this method and am now updating the _FileName field to the new file name resulting from the rename operation. Is there a reason you are not updating this field?

Thank you for your knowledge (and publishing of it) in the VSX area! I'm new to VSX and I've gotta say it's probably the more challending type of development I've faced recently more so because of the lack of documentation in this area relative to other areas.
