﻿A Notepad++ plug-in for project/solution based manipulation (requires .NET 2.0)
Current Version: 1.5.0

Project View gives the user a dockable project window that emulates basic functionality of a 'solution explorer' in popular IDE's. A project can contain any type of file or folder as well as virtual folders (folders that are not 'linked' to a file system folder). Projects are not direct file links but merely virtual links that allow you to quickly access your files by clicking them in the project window (thus opening them in the current Notepad++ instance).

Adding files/folders via the menu or drag-and-drop creates links in a project file (created by adding a new or existing project through a menu) that are then accessed in a hierarchical fashion. Virtual folders can be added to 'group' items together; virtual folders are not linked to any folder on your computer. You can reorganize items in a project (and between projects), as well as rename projects, virtual folders, and file system files/folders (which renames them in the project view window and the file system).

Project View auto-saves the project file on manipulation so you don't have to worry about saving your project file when you're done.

The context menu ('right click menu') gives quick access as well to things such as opening a file or folder in an explorer window, as well as opening a file via the shell (i.e. what would happen if you double clicked the actual file system item via explorer).
