It's annoying to have to separately maintain a .filters file to make Visual Studio happy, as well as my project's on-disk layout. Is it possible to tell VS to use real folders, like it does for C#?

A: 

I haven't tried it myself, but are filters only on file extension, or can you match "Dir1/*" with a solution folder?

The other option would be to have a script (preferably a VS extension) update the .filters automatically.

Nice idea. If only the VC team had thought of that too. Just tried it, it doesn't work :( (the filters are only applied to file extensions)

In the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio, just click the toolbar button called 'Show All Files'.

That does exactly what you want.
