Request for $(OutDir)

[jjlucsy]

My project uses a different output directory than the usual bin$(Configuration). I'd like to be able to copy files into the output directory without having to hardcode the paths.

I'd be interested in switching my "External Tools..." menu items to this (if only for ease of sharing config files etc), but those tools offer more "macros" including

• Binary Directory
• Item Path/Filename etc (current document)
• Target Path/Filename etc (I think is what the current document would be compiled to)
• Current Line/Column/Text
• Project Directory and Filename (cf Solution Directory and Filename)

and so I can use these to configure tools to "check the current file" (eg diff) or "cmd in the bin directory".

If you could add any of those that'd be great ... I've listed them in order of importance to me (ie BinDir is first thing I'm missing)
