Re: [Installbase-devel] Feature idea.

I like that idea but I am also happy with the way it works now. My
concern would be if the new way would mean a losing some control over
the way grouping is done. If grouping is done my directory on the
development system and new files automatically are added to the group or
removed as the contents of the directory changes would really speed
things up.

If you can still have files in the same group that are from more then
one directory I would say go for it.
