Hi everyone! I'm just starting my journey in D and liking it so far! I've decided to give Visual-D a try and blown away with the features such as code coverage display, profiling, and so on - impressive job guys, thanks a lot! My question is - is it possible to open the existing project that was generated using `dub-init` command, for example, and have all the features - run/debug/completion/etc. enabled? I couldn't figure that out, unfortunately. The reason I'm asking is quite simple - I don't really want my projects to depend on the external tools and limit potential contributors (or even myself, if I don't have access to a Windows machine with VS) in tools they could use.

$ dub generate visuald https://dub.pm/commandline.html#generate Unfortunately it doesn't generate all that good project files and VisualD doesn't support dub directly. However if you modify the files manually you could PR the changes needed into dub to improve it :) https://github.com/dlang/dub/blob/master/source/dub/generators/visuald.d
