sort and organise source files [message #700049]

I'm wondering if there is a way to sort the source files (.h and .cpp)
in the left Project View/Panel.
At the moment all the files are shown as a large list -> it takes to long to find
a file.
I tried to make "folders" and even "source folders", but that created folders on the harddrive and files moved into them are no longer found in the #include statements.

With Visual Studio I only need to create "filters" and moved the files into them.

Is there any way to organise the files without having real folders and the need to change the #include paths ?

Greetings

Mike

As a temporal solution I added some folders for sorting the files,
like msg, org, main, and
added these paths to the include paths of the project.

Isn't there any other solution ?

If you need to find file quickly, try using ctrl+shift+r ; type file name and it will show all files with this name in you project. Although it does not answer your question about files organization, maybe this is another way to find files quickly Smile
