Include external folders in project file browser

Question

In Textmate 1 I was used to being able to include folders from different locations in my project drawer. Is this still possible in Textmate 2?

Example: I’ve got the follwing (real) file structure:

/my_software
    /system_a
        /module_b
            /src_b (This is my actual project folder)
/other_software
    /system_y
        /module_z
            /src_z (I want to have this folder in my project file tree, for reference)

And I want my Textmate 2 project file browser look like this, which was easy in Textmate 1 by adding existing folders to the drawer:

/src_b
/src_z

Is this still possible in Textmate 2? E.g. by adding the external folder in the .tm_properties file?

Answer 1

The best way to do this currently is to just use symbolic links. Here is how you do this from the command line considering the above directory structure:

$ mkdir my_project
$ cd my_project
$ ln -s /my_software/system_a/module_b/src_b .
$ ln -s /other_software/system_y/module_z/src_z .
$ mate .

Hope this helps!
