In DUB we'd like to hide the multiple .visualdproj in a hidden .dub directory, it helps with clutter in projects with many packages (only the .sln stays visible which is handy).
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dub/pull/680
But the option "Debugging/Working Directory" is stored in the generated .suo file, and the default is "." where this change woudl require "..".
Is there, or should there be, an option within the .visualdproj to store that current working directory?

Visual D stored it in the project file at the beginning, but that's usually not what you want.
You might still be able to change the default by adding an element <debugworkingdir> to the project settings, as it is still read from the project: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald/blob/master/visuald/config.d#L1371
It won't survive the next saving of the project, though, but maybe that's ok.

Well, that would be very confusing, it's quite common to save projects files even generated.
Better abandon the idea of hiding .visualdproj instead to have that. It's not a huge must-have anyway.

Wouldn't the directory be stored in the .suo file when saving the project/solution? That would IMO be enough, there is no need to keep it in the project file per se.
