It would be great having the possibility to open a folder like a 'project' folder.

Then, we could slide the left charmbar to see the folder's structure as a tree to navigate and open any file of this folder.

Sublime text editor is a great sample of what I am talking about.

Do you  have any idea when this feature will be added to your product ?

I am heaviliy using your app for coding when travelling and I am really missing it as I am often working on projects with lots of files. File opening method offered in all editing apps is not so easy to use. I would really prefer choosing to open my project folder and having a kind of window with a tree structure where to select files I want to edit.

Hi Benjamin,

Sorry but we don't have a timeline for big features as Code Writer is something we work on in our free time.  That is a feature we would like to see eventually though.  If we made Code Writer open source sometime in the future, would you be interested in contributing to the project?

The latest build of this product (v4.2.42) was released 3 years ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
