I've tried both. With the yellow icon (a "group") I need to manually add .rb files to the project when I create them in Vim. However, the upside is that the files are copied to the correct place in the build (the project root), so they are correctly found by rb_main.rb at runtime.
With the blue icon (the "folder reference") the files are automatically added to the project when I create them in Vim, but the entire folder is actually copied to the build which means that rb_main.rb doesn't find them when it tries to include everything. Ideally, what I'd like to do is use a folder reference and then just set up some build script that will copy everything to the project root when I build. -- Michael Jackson http://mjijackson.com @mjijackson On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 5:03 PM, Nick Ludlam <n...@recoil.org> wrote: > On 27 Jul 2010, at 18:25, Michael Jackson wrote: > >> I tried adding a folder to the root of my project called "Classes" in >> which I put all of my Ruby code.
