Project folders¶
A window opens on the folders you give it. Launched with a path, that path is the project; launched with none, it opens empty and the start page says how to put a folder in it.
Adding a folder¶
File → Add Folder to Project… (Cmd+Shift+A / Ctrl+Shift+A) puts more
folders beside the first. Each one heads its own subtree in the navigator, and
everything that walks the project — search, replace-across-files,
go-to-definition — covers all of them.
Paths are written with the folder's name in front once more than one is open, so
two files called main.rs never read alike:
Overlapping folders are refused: one inside another would list and search the
same files twice, so Yara Code says already inside core rather than doing it.
Removing one¶
Right-click the folder's row in the navigator → Remove Folder from Project, which stands where Add Folder to Project stands on any other folder. It leaves the folder on disk and only drops it from the window. Removing the last one puts the window back to its empty state — that is a valid place to be, not an error.
A project folder's row does not offer Rename, Move To… or Delete: renaming the folder you are working in from inside the editor is a foot-gun, and the navigator says so by not offering it.
The Dock icon (macOS)¶
Hold the Dock icon and the menu lists the projects opened before, then the folder the window is on with a tick beside it, then New Window. A recent project opens in the window; New Window starts another copy of the editor with nothing in it, since one window here is one process.
What stays with the first folder¶
Git and the terminal's working directory are anchored to the first folder — the project root. Adding a second folder does not open a second repository or a second shell.
