Feature Request: Allow Folders For Project Management

Post by CaliforniaJerry »

WeBuilder 9.5.2.106
Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2

One of the primary features of WeBuilder that I use is Project Management support. I may have more than 25 WeBuilder projects (which I'll refer to as "project_names") at a given time. In order to manage these project_names, I would like to be able to place them into Project Folders (in WeBuilder) rather than simply one long list of project_names.

When I work on a development project, files are usually spread across several locations (on my hard drive). I create a separate project_name (in WeBuilder) for each set of files and switch to that project_name when I want to access those files. Related project_names can be stored within one Project Folder (in WeBuilder). Project Folders should be collapsible, as shown below.

When all folders are collapsed, all you see are folder names. You can expand one or more folders to view the actual projects in them.

Tools > Manage Projects

Code: Select all

   Project 1 (Folder)
       project_name_1a
       project_name_1b
   Project 2 (Folder)
   Project 3 (Folder)
   ...
Tools > Manage Projects

Code: Select all

   Project 1 (Folder)
   Project 2 (Folder)
       project_name_2a
       project_name_2b
   Project 3 (Folder)
   ...
At Present, what you would see is the following:

Code: Select all

       project_name_1a
       project_name_1b
       project_name_2a
       project_name_2b
       project_name_3a
       project_name_3b
       project_name_4a
       project_name_4b
       ...

It is difficult to understand, perhaps the notion of the rapidphp project should be deliberately and thoughtfully revised instead?

I edited the original post to, hopefully, make it easier to understand... Please re-read it. Thanks.

would love to see folders in the project menu as well. perhaps projects could have "tags" and then the menu could group tags? Same idea.
