    Hi Dana,

     


    Folders displayed in the Project Explorer are logical, and they are used to organize project items inside TC without changing the actual file structure. This behavior occurs by design, however, we have a suggestion to create physical directories for logical folders - I've increased its rating.


     


    At the moment, you can use Gena's suggestion.

The problem with that approach is that the actual "physical" structure is lost in the "Project Explorer" itself. All one can see there is the actual script file, not where it lives. 



The above was actually a reason why I do not like an idea of having a separate "projects" for individual components. The structure seems to be lost when I want to share it

I am sure, my  reasoning behind the request is quite common

as I believe, any automated framework will have a structure similar to:



common components for all "test suites"

components common to an individual test suite

individual tests in a test suite





 Ideas?
