One of the most important functionalities of WebCoder, if you ask me, is the project management. Ever since this feature was first implemented, which was many, many versions ago, files were manually added to the project, either by the user clicking the "Add" button, or when the users chose to synchronize the project. This worked pretty well if you only added, moved and removed files from within WebCoder, but in the end, it did feel a bit old-school. In WebCoder 2012, I have turned this concept completely around. WebCoder 2012 will monitor your project root for any file related changes and then instantly update the project structure accordingly. This means that if you save a file, move a file, delete a file or rename a file, WebCoder automatically detects this and updates the project structure. No need to do manual synchronizations, and when you create a new file and save it within the project root, WebCoder won't bother you with a question on whether to add it or not.

But what if you don't want a specific file or directory within your WebCoder project structure? For this, we have exclusion filters, allowing you to exclude specific files or directories or several files/directories using wildcards and even Regular expressions to specify rules. For instance, you can exclude all *.gif files or all directories which starts with a . (dot) very easily. Excluding a single file or directory can be done with two mouse-clicks.

There are more changes in project management than this, but you will have to see them for your self, once the first beta version hits the page. It will be a while though, but stay tuned for more information about WebCoder 2012 :)

Disclaimer: WebCoder 2012 is still far from being done. These blog posts are merely to show you what this new version will be like and to give you an impression of the development process. I hope to have the final version of WebCoder 2012 ready in the third quarter of 2012, but nothing is certain yet!
