User(s) can reproduce this bug

Often I will link to shared resources such as images and xaml files. Unfortunately, in WPF if I place them below a folder they are not placed with a folder name in the output resources.

This is the WPF version of this Silverlight bug: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=428412

The issue is fixed in Silverlight 4 but not in WPF 4. This absolutely needs to be fixed before WPF ships - it makes single sourcing an absolute nightmare.

Create a folder in a solution
Add a xaml file as a linked item below that folder
Reference the xaml file in app.xaml.
Inspect the exe in reflector after it has built.

in the .g.resources, the file will not have a folder name. In the enclosed example see colors.baml.

Should be resources/colors.baml.

Too bad you don't fix this, since this is really a bug that should be fixed.

Thanks for notifying us of this problem. Unfortunately, we won't be able to address this in .NET 4. In our version 4, linked resources were enabled in WPF applications for everything bug "Pages", but at this point, we won't be able to address that remaining issue in time for .NET 4's release.
Thanks,
WPF Team
