    CodeBlocks IDE file management

    Curious if anyone knows a way to make sub folders appear in sources and headers so I can better group my project. Looks like I might just have a billion cpp files floating around way down the road by that I mean years, but I would love if I could keep it clean to a point. At least before I regret it and end up as grumpy as some of you. (no offense grumpy at least not intended)

    There is no reason to --and good reason NOT to-- have all your files in one project.

    Really, start new projects, import only the needed files.
    Organize your on-disk heirarchy by projects, 1 project, 1 folder.

    It's not code::blocks that needs new organizational skills....

    Huh? I couldn't imagine 1 directory per project... no matter how small my code is I have at least 2-3 dirs for sources.

    You just need to create these directories on disk, then add these files again, and all directories will appear.

    There is also an option to create virtual directories in CodeBlocks. Those appear in the IDE but don't exist really!
