Open Project (multiple folders)

[leewi9]

when open multi folders, there will be many windows, which is way not convenient, maybe we can check how VisualStudioCode tackle with this issue, and learn from it.

Just came here to say the same thing.

I found Typora a week ago, and actually uninstalled Typora after 5 minutes because not having the folder structure which a VS Code or Sublime Text supports just feels like going back in time 15 years.

Eventually re-installed because it looks/feels so good. But at this point I only use Typora for drafting because it's a huge pain not being able to see where the file is / being able to switch between tabs.

Combining the ability to manage multiple folders at once, with refactoring tools like #2490 would instantly convert Typora from "random utility I sometimes use" to "markdown editor I've always wanted / would be willing to pay for".

Until then - as much as I love Typora's UI otherwise - I'll stick with VS Code / IntelliJ plugins for actual work.

Hope y'all get there! This seems like the Fork of markdown.

Just learnt about typora couple of days ago and its great and planned to use this for my notes in future but, since is inability to open multiple folders in the same instance, I am not able to completely migrate. :-| Sad such a clean and nice tool lacks this feature. Would be great to also have this feature soon.

Hello,

Long time fan / paid user here.

I think the whole sidebar offering – but especially the folder management – in Typora needs work, so that it looks and behaves much more like a proper project / file manager like the OP says.

The File Tree has various limitations:

• you can't go up a level, so if you opened one document from a project it feels quite awkward
• you can't see non-markdown files, so managing images with documents is impossible
• neither File Tree nor Articles really delivers on what would be a useful UI

FWIW the Ullyses app sidebar setup is a bit more organised (I like the way the Tree and Articles columns are separate) and "Mac like", though I don't think being "Mac like" is a particularly good aim in itself; it's just sometimes a good bar.

The Sidebar doesn't feel particularly cohesive:

• Recent Locations has never really felt like the project manager I would like (likely because opening locations / projects itself is so basic)
• Outline toggle is at the top, but Files / Articles toggle is at the bottom

Apologies if this sounds critical, it's not meant to. It's just to say "would be great to see this part of the app get some love – sooner rather than later".
