However, at the moment the add/remove folder is not available in the project manager view (for any kind of project) but in the file-system view which works independent from projects. Not sure what you think but we could leave it there. From what i've tried the generic project manager maintains a list of files. The add/remove folder option just makes it more easy to add new files without leaving the IDE (it's not my intention to duplicate a full-featured file-manager).

So my question is: if my whishes don't fit into the genric projetc manager, the other option would be to introduce a "new" project-manager specific for Makefile-based projects. Is that the woy to go?
