I opened a project "ProjectOne" in atom and then added another project folder "ProjectTwo". When I cmd + t to look for a folder, it always looks through ProjectOne even though I have that folder tree folded and ProjectTwo tree opened. How do I look through ProjectTwo and switch back and forth between the two projects?
Each Atom window has currently has one project. If the two folders are added to the same project (that is, they are both added in the same Atom window), then the file fuzzy finder will search through files in both of them (because the fuzzy finder searches through the entire project, not just individual folders added to the project).
For now, if you want to search through individual root folders, you'll need to either open them in different Atom windows, or use a plugin that behaves the way you want it to.

the thing is, I want to open folder from "hellobill-retail-service"
and "hellobill-retail-web/view" at one go
is it any command to do it? as long as I know it can only select multiple folders from same hierarchy...
I know I can do it separately, but can it done with one go? I dont want to make my project folder histories dirty because it contains all my important projects
or, alternatively, can we some kind like, bookmark projects (along with all opened files) because file/reopen project is like temporary right?
Here is my htdocs folders...
here is inside my hellobill-retail-web folders
selecting multiple folders from same level
one of my projects
There are several project packages (e.g. project-plus or project-manager) that can save and restore your current projects, even when consisting of several folders.
I am using ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Atom Editor 1.5.3
If I and click on Open File I want that the dialog window shows the directory of the current file I am working on. However, it always shows the directory Recently Used and I have to click through the folders to get to my project folder. Where can I change this so that the dialog window starts in my project folder?
Also I noticed that the treeview doesnt change if I work on a specific file. So if I have two projects folders called Project 1 and Project 2 and I start with a file from folder Project 1 then I see the treeview of this folder. However, if I open a file from Project 2 and work on this file, the treeview of folder Project 1 remains. How can I make that the treeview always corresponds to the current file I am working on?
As for the first part of your question, this is a bug in atom for the linux version. Someone has suggested a patch but it seems it has not been accepted yet in the main atom version, even if it seems to work (see the discussion). The two commits are here, if you want to try something with them (what would imply something like recompiling atom yourself of course...).
About the second part of the question: I don't think it's possible to let atom switch automatically from a project to another when clicking on a file. But you can use the project manager package, what will allow you to define projects, and to set a root directory for each project and then switch from a project to another manually. The treeview will then fit with the current project.
When you open or create a project in RStudio, the working directory is automatically changed to that of the project. However, if you are saving files or doing work in other subdirectories, it's often convenient to change the working directory then. It can get to be a pain to manage this in every script.
Is there a variable that always points to the project root (that is also readable by the session forked by the "Knit HTML" button) that can be used to make this easier?
The "Knit HTML" button appears to set the working directory to that of the R Markdown file. For example, if you have a variable called project.root in your ./Rprofile, and you click "Knit HTML" with this script opened,
```{r}
getwd()
source('./Rprofile')
setwd(project.root)
getwd()
```
the first and last result will be the script directory and the rest will throw errors.
To recap, as you inferred, you can set R's working directory at the command line like so:
setwd("~/NateProjects")
You can also use RStudio's Files pane to navigate to a directory and then set it as working directory from the menu: Session --> Set Working Directory --> To Files Pane Location. (You'll see even more options there). Or within the Files pane, choose More and Set As Working Directory.
But, you can do better & set up an environment like a professional programmer. To do this, you can choose to keep all the files associated with a project (a project being loosely defined as I have all my personal code under one project) organized together -- input data, R scripts, analytical results, figures. In fact, RStudio has built-in support for this. There is an excellent tutorial here that you can have a look at which explains how to walk through in step by step detail:
http://www.rstudio.com/ide/docs/using/projects
Essentially, taking from the documents, you need to do the following:
Create a new project use the Create Project command (available on the Projects menu and on the global toolbar). This can be the place that you put all future sub projects and sub-folders in
Then, once you create this new project in RStudio, the following actions happen:
You create a project file (with an .Rproj extension) within the project directory. This file contains various project options (discussed below) and can also be used as a shortcut for opening the project directly from the filesystem.
You create a hidden directory (named .Rproj.user) where project-specific temporary files (e.g. auto-saved source documents, window-state, etc.) are stored. This directory is also automatically added to .Rbuildignore, .gitignore, etc. if required.
You load the project into RStudio and display its name in the Projects toolbar (which is located on the far right side of the main toolbar)
Is there any easy way to sync the group structure inside Xcode 4 and the actual folders structure in the filesystem?
I have read that some people create new folders on Finder and them drag-and-drop into Xcode, but that sounds like a hack to me. I wish there were a configuration/setting where I could set to make logical (groups in Xcode) and physical (files in filesystem) structures match so that I would not have images, my code, external code, plists, pch, lproj, etc. on the same messy folder.
I also tried changing the location on the Identity and Type panel in View -> Utilities -> View File Inspector and it just made me more confused.
Unfortunately not, the way you mention is what I do.
Its not great but it works.
Just place the file in the folder and then logically group it in XCode.
Automatic Folder Content Inclusion
For automatically inclusion of files and folders, add a folder reference.
You'll see this as a blue folder in your project and now anything you place in there is automatically added to the project.
I want to add my flex project to a SCM like Clearcase and then allow other developers download it and use in FlexBuilder.
What foramt do i need to place it in my clearcase so users can simply download and import into Flex Builder? Is there some way to create a .project file or similiar to allow Flex Recognise the project in clearcase?
I do not know Flex Builder project config files (I do know very well ClearCase though), but this question looks like "Do you keep your project files under version control ?" or "Which eclipse files belong under Version Control"
In essence, you should put any config file in ClearCase as long as you have relative path and/or variable for the other users to interpret.
A snapshot or dynamic ClearCase view will simply present those files for them to use, whatever they are. For instance, some eclipse .project or .classpath can be stored that way, while using linked directories.
So for Flex Builder project, one way to determine what file to store is to copy a minimal subset of those files in a new directory and check if you can re-open your project successfully.
Once the minimal set of file is determined, you can "add to source control" them.
