Project files for Notepad++?

Question

No need for plugin. And NPP does this good and more. So no need to go to other editor.

Go to View → Project → Project Panel n

See more details here

Project Management/workspace

Click View -> Project -> Project Panel n

where n is 1, 2 or 3. Each panel for each workspace.

Notepad++ has a project-management tool but its not very effective. Creating and deleting files is a pain, so the only things you can do with it is opening and managing of files.

But, there is a solution aka the Explorer plugin.

Link to the explorer plugin (You can also find it in your plugin manager)

It is a file manager and when coupled with the in-built project-management tool it is very effective.

You mean a project-management like this? http://npp-community.tuxfamily.org/documentation/project-management

It is already included in Notepad++, called Workspaces. It works on the local file system only. Would be great, if it works with remote filesystems like FTP/SSH too.

As of Notepad++ 6.9 (released on 22 Feb 2016 14:11:00):

The new Folder as Workspace feature can be used.

Folder as Workspace opens your folder(s) in a panel so you can browse folder(s) and open any file in Notepad++. Every changement in the folder(s) from outside will be synchronized in the panel. Usage: Simply drop 1 (or more) folder(s) in Notepad++.

You can use:
File -> Open Folder as Workspace , select the folder you want.

or open Notepad++, then drag and drop the folder you want to open as tree view.

This feature has the advantage of not showing your entire file system when just the working directory is needed.
It also means you don't need plugins for it to work.
