importing MSVC 2010 solution

Just tried to import a MSVC 2010 .sln file but had very little luck.
(BTW, the project does contain a wxCrafter wxcp file)
Nothing major happens whether I import to use g++ or MSVC as the compiler.
All I get in the workspace panel is a red folder named after the project name, but nothing else & I can't expand it.
Opening the WC plugin, and loading the wxcp file shows the expected frame etc, but trying to generate code from it gives me the error dialog
"Unable to add files to project. Empty project/virtual foledr was provided!"
Is this feature working for anyone else?

TIA for any help.

The visutal studio import used to work properly back in the VC7 days (6 years ago)
I did not update it work with the new .sln format so I guess it will not work as expected

If anyone is willing to update it to work with the new formats - it will be great, otherwise it will has to go the feature request queue (i.e. open a FR @ soruceforge.net)

If I am the first to find this 'problem' in six years, I guess it doesn't rate very high on the 'need' scale.

It would come in handy, but with my level of experience, I doubt that I could tackle it in a reasonable time frame.

Perhaps, a short term 'solution' would be to disable the option, or simply display a notice advising whoever tries to use the feature that is may or may not work as expected ;)

I will probably rename it to "Import MSVC 7.1 (or 8) solution"
