I am using another software which shows Diff View of source files. It shows the result in Visual Studio.
While showing the result, two temporary files are made on Temporary folder such as C:\\Users\\USER_NAME\\AppData\\Local\\Temp.

Unfortunately Visual Assist also parses these files, so Find Symbol window also shows symbols in that temp files, and it makes me confusing.

I think it is better if Visual Assist be able to ignore files in some directories or those that matches patterns I specify.

I am not quite sure what is happening on your system. What is being opened in the IDE? The two code files to diff, or the diff result, or both?

If you are opening code files in the IDE then VA will assume that you want it to pay attention, since the files are opened in the IDE.

Are you able to configure the file extension for these diff files? I would not expect a diff file to have a .cpp extension, since being a diff file, its not a normal code file. If you could set the files to have a file extension that tells VA that they are not code files then VA will ignore them.

The setting:

VA Options -> Projects and Files -> Extensions to ignore

may help here.
