Cloning physical directory structure when importing files
Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:26 pm
Hi,
When importing files from a directory, it would be REAL nice if the virtual folders were created in the same hierarchy as that of the actual disk layout. This is to say, if a real folder contains subfolders (which may contain subfolders, ad nauseum...) the import operation would layout the virtual directory structure the same way. The linear fashion currently implemented isn't good if, for instance, a project contains "source" and "header" directories which themselves contain subdirectories with identical names. I don't want to see my headers and source files mixed together, and imagine there are others who would prefer not too as well. Don't read this with the wrong tone, I like CL very much, but having to create the proper layout is a nuisance and has kept me from using it with large, existing codebases.
Thanks for listening
