Hi all, The subject has probably been discussed a number of times, but a little googling didn't bring me a satisfying answer.
Is it possible to add smart folders capabilities to the project drawer, like XCode does?
Sorry for my unability to find answers by myself! ;-)

So smart folders as defined by Finder or smart folders defined by some criteria you set?
The former is indirectly possible via the smart folder file system.

If I get it well, I can create a smart folder in the Finder, and add that folder to my project as usually. In that case, does it suit well with the auto-reload mechanism of the project drawer, in terms of responsiveness? If so, it could do the job.
What about the smart folders defined by some criteria I'd set? I suppose it is not available, so WILL it be? ;)

I have never tried it, so no idea -- but you need MacFUSE and the Spotlight / SmartFolder file system.

What exactly do you want to “filter”? I have no plans of adding query support to the file browser, but you could probably do it via a VFS (in the future).

As an example, a smart folder could be filled with all the log files of a project
So generally speaking, what I want to filter, is filetypes, filenames, file contents, metadata, etc... anything that can be filtered through Spotlight in the closed environment of a project.
