Mimic the file system in the Scripts section of an MDS

I am in the process of restructuring my project, and am wondering if there is a way to make the Scripts section of the MDS mimic the structure I have in the file system

 

File System:

Scripts/

  Core/

    Utils/

  Widget1/

    Foo/

 

MDS:

Project/

  Advanced/

    Script/

      Core/

        Utils/

      Widget1/

        Foo/

 

So if a user creates a new file from testcomplete in the Core/Util folder, it will get created in the corresponding folder in the file system.

 

The benefit I get from this is being able to add a linting config file to the root of the folder to define the rules, and it makes the file system cleaner.

 

Thanks.

  • Folders in TestComplete MDS are logical folders, only... they don't reflect the actual file structure on the hard drive.  So, out of the box, no... there's no way to do what you're asking beyond just being cognizant that, when adding a new file, to add it to the appropriate folder.

        I believe, somewhere, there's a feature request for that... feel free to go and vote it up.
