Sorry for the abbreviated subject!
The Open File in Solution window shows one entry for each file for each project that references the file. This results in duplicate entries for the file if the same file is in many projects.
the setup:
create a (C++) solution with two projects
add an existing file to both projects
Open the open file in solution dialog and start typing the file's name
result:
The file will be listed twice, the only difference in the two entries being the "project" field
This is bad because if there is a set of files that have similar names that are shared between two projects, the file list is effectively doubled when looking for those files. |

I have put in a feature request to move this option to the dialog from context menu:
case=33203
Also, put in a request to make it on by default:
case=33201
since you can see all projects in the "Projects" column even in "combined" mode. |

Well, that's pretty awesome! The context menu is pretty non-discoverable though. Why not put that checkbox at the bottom - there's already a checkbox there! Because of that, I figured there weren't any more options for the window.
I'd also suggest "combine duplicate file entries" to be turned on by default. |

If you right click in the window you can choose to 'Combine duplicate file entries' and that should solve your issue. :)
D'oh, beaten to the punch. :) |

Just right click on the file list in the Open File in Solution dialog and select "Combine duplicate file entries" from the menu. It is a checkbox and will remember your setting next time you open this dialog again.
Hope this helps. |
