Pinned folder to sidebar

Hi, 
there is nice feature, that you can pin folder from project, by draging it to textarea, and then to the sidebar. But when you close the IDE, it disappears. 

It would be nice to be able to have such a folder pinned permamently. Even better would be to have it bound with project, somehow. 

So my folders, pinned to sidebar, would disapper and appear when I close or open related project.

i cannot find such a feature in standard nb distro:) are you using some third-party plugin?
please reopen if this is available in nb by default...

Hi, it's in IDE by default. Friend of mine showed me this feature. Is it possible that it's only on Linux & PHP-only version?

I drag the folder to typing area (don't know better word), drop it and then click on "minimize window".

wow, i had no idea it's possible to drop a folder into editor area:)

It's huge help, when you have deep folder structure :)

I'm going to bump this. What I do in nearly all of my projects is pin my Model, View, and Controller folders into the project window so I can easily navigate throughout the structure.

It would be a nice to have feature if NetBeans remembered this setup for each project so I didn't have to do this everytime I re-opened NetBeans.
