Hide items with 'Visible=false' metadata

[natemcmaster]

In VS 2015, items marked with metadata 'Visible' set to false did not appear in the solution explorer.

In VS2017, these items appear.

Repo:

1. Add a file 'somehiddenfile.txt' to a project folder.
2. Add to csproj

<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <ItemGroup>
     <None Include="somehiddenfile.txt" Visible="false" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Using 15.0.26109.1

Hmm, <Visible>false</Visible> is respected - I think what's probably happening here is that the implicit globs are re-adding the file with different metadata. @dsplaisted

Yeah, that's probably what is happening. It seems to go away when opting-out of default items.

<EnableDefaultNoneItems>false</EnableDefaultNoneItems>

You could keep the default items if you change to

     <None Update="somehiddenfile.txt" Visible="false" />

Where Update means "change metadata on existing item" rather than "add a new item to the list".

This should now be fixed with dotnet/sdk#624. Please reopen if you are still seeing this.
