Catel MVVM Structure

I have a simple WPF Application and I used Catel (3.5) framework for using MVVM. The Default structure for Catel in visual studio is:

Solution:
  Project:
    FolderView
    FolderViewModel
    FolderModel

I want to change the structure to 

Solution:
  ProjectView
  ProjectViewModel
  ProjectModel

in this way I completely separate M-VM-V and I add reference.

I Understand that Catel scans the project automatically to find the Viewmodels if the naming convention are respected.

I can not make this work on the second structure, any advice will be pretreated.

EDIT 1: I have added the following code in App.xaml.cs

var viewModelLocator = ServiceLocator.Default.ResolveType<IViewModelLocator>();
viewModelLocator.NamingConventions.Add("CatelV2ViewModel.ViewModels.[VW]ViewModel");

This does not work for me, and I have No Idea why. Im sure that My assembly name is correct AND I end my class name with ViewModel.

EDIT 2: The application Works if I add the following code:

viewModelLocator.Register(typeof(MainWindow), typeof(MainWindowViewModel));

But I still want to know why it dosent work when I add a NamingConvention.

Catel has a lot of different naming conventions that are being used. Mostly it does this by checking the /Views, /ViewModels, /Models in the same project.

For more information about naming conventions in Catel, visit the documentation:

https://catelproject.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CTL/Naming+conventions

You probably want to customize the ViewLocator and ViewModelLocator.
