I love Notepad++. It does everything I need it to do. I don’t need a fancy IDE, I do compiling with makefiles from the command line, and the projects I work on aren’t insanely huge, they have just grown beyond being small. This image describes my problem pretty well:
Is there any plugin for Notepad++ that allows you to open your project at once using a simple project file? It should provide some sort of tree view browsing of your project with only the files you added to the project (so no *.pyc’s and stuff), and not do a whole lot more.
If it turns out to be impossible to add this to Notepad++ then I’m willing to actually try out a different editor that supports this but isn’t a complete, heavy IDE. So answers suggesting a different but similar editor are also welcome.
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
