In VAssistX/projects/c++ Directories you can include directories that includes header files for VAssist to parse. Is there any why you can tell VAssist to parse a tree of directories. Say you have 50 directories with different header files. Do you have add all of them separate?

Currently there is no way to do this. The reason VA doesn't do automatic sub-folder traversal is that the compiler doesn't do it either. Usually if the environment is set up for compilation to work, then VA will find what you expect it to find.

As Feline said Visual Assist sets up itself from the environment. Visual Assist also parses headers which are included in a cpp file, so normally you don't need to set up these directories manually. Do you see any problems?

You can copy and paste a directory list into this list in our options dialog by using the end button.

Can you simply get the directory list you need from an existing makefile on your Linux machine?
How about using a find command, with the output piped into a text file? I am a bit rusty on the UNIX command line, but it should be fairly easy to generate a listing of all sub directories with a find command and pipe it into a text file. Then just open the text file under Windows and copy / paste its content.

Alternatively, you can turn on

VA Options -> File handling -> if Solution is not empty

It will parse all other unparsed files in the same directory upon opening a file.
