File system structure instead of projects folder
BaronVerde:
Morning,
sorry if this was already answered elsewhere, I couldn't find it.
Am switching from eclipse cdt where I could easily work with the file system structure, but which has other kirks that I can't live with any more.
How do I work in codeblocks with the file system instead of logical folders and the projects folder ?
Edit: this is Debian Linux and codeblocks 20.03 from the repository.
Cheers

The File Manager plugin creates a tab showing the filesystem

What do you mena by "file system structure"?
Do you want to do with it?
How do you define a project in this case? Do you want to build? To debug?

Directories and filenames. Everything is a file. Codeblocks seems to put all files into a single directory and offers logical folders, but these are gone as soon as I leave it. I do a lot in a terminal.

A project is just an abstraction and only available inside the IDE. All I need is directories and filenames reflected inside the IDE as they are on disk. And yes, I need to build and my skills are not hat huge that I can afford to dismiss debugging :-)

These both look good for starting with CodeBlocks.
