Myself and IIRC Enrico thought it would be good to allow other files outside the project to be opened without having to close all the project files first. But if there is a better alternative, feel free to suggest it ;-)
Ok. So how should we visualise a project? If there is only one view of loaded files, a project could be the highest node. All the other files from outside the project could be below a node "Unmanaged" (uhhh, sounds like C# stuff)
[-] Project FooBar [-] src/ main.c foo.h bar.c [-] lib/ xy.c abc.c [-] doc/ README LICENSE manual.txt [-] Unmanaged [-] ~/my-stuff/php index.php foo.php
I think this is a good idea for the Documents sidebar tab. (Although personally I'd use 'Other Files' ;-)).
That's one first thought. Or the project can be part of the file browser. Together with a checkbox "hide unloaded", we have the hierarchical view, and we can see what's in work. I'm not really sure if this is a possible solution.
I'm not sure if it's worth doing this. The file browser can still be used to switch to an open file as well as opening files. Maybe it could have a 'Go to Project Base Path' command though.
