Hi. I'm trying do my next project using D. Previously I used Xamarin Studio, but for serious work I need a debugger. So, I try Visual Studio + VisualD.

I create a new project:

    dub init projectname

Add a dependency to dub.sdl, then generate solution for Visual Studio:

    dub generate visuald

Open it in Visual Studio and do some changes (create new folders, new modules, etc).
Then I need add new dependency. I edit dub.sdl, but what then? If I generate project again

    dub generate visuald

then I'll lose all changes which I did (new folders, new modules, etc).

How I can add new dependency and continue work?

I'm not using dub myself, but doesn't it automatically pick up all new files when generating the project again? You'll still lose project configuration settings, these should be added to dub.sdl to begin with.

Maybe some dub experts can shed more light on this...
