Re: File base Project, not Folder based

A project is always a folder that is identified by means of a specific file, e.g., with a specific file extension. I think people generally accept that the notion of a ‘project’ is always more than one file, so possibly you need to reconsider the design of your input.

The problem is that I want that my project be saved as a single file, with a custom extension, so all the content must reside on that file. Like project_name.cep (cep - custom extension project). I don't want to open a new type of file inside project, that file is my project, and I want to write nodes inside it.

I really appreciate some example of how to do this and if is not to much to ask how to write nodes inside this single file and represent it in the explorer (just some advices).
