Hello!
Is there a possibility to change a vsix type from "Project or item template" to "Tool"?
Initially, our vsix was uploaded as "Project or item template" to Visual Studio gallery. Over time we made a change and now we cannot upload the vsix:
![]()
After some investigation I found out that adding some Asset to source.extension.vsixmanifest made the change of type. Okay, we now need to upload our new vsix as a "Tool"
instead of "Project and item template" and cannot find a way to do that. We should keep the vsix id and we should not lose a downloads counter, for example. Also users should be notified about an update in their local Visual Studio. We cannot find
a way to change a type in the upload dialog. Hopefully we are overlooking it. Please don't answer that there is no such a possibility and the only way is to do a fresh upload from scratch:)
