Description

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Currently if namespace does not reflect directory structure there is a Light Bulb option to change the namespace element to match the structure. You can also choose to do it for all occurrences in project or solution. Unfortunately, there is no way to do it only in current directory. It would be extremely helpful while refactoring.
