Hiya!

I'm a documentary producer using Claude Code for non-coding work (running scripts, transcribing audio, organising research for a film). I'm not a developer, so my workflow probably looks a bit different from most users.

Before the April redesign, I had custom folders in the sidebar to group sessions the way I think about my work. For example, I had "Featherstone admin", "Featherstone scripts", and "research" all sitting under the same project but doing very different things. Those folders were honestly the main way I navigated the app.

The new project-based grouping is tidier, but it collapses everything for one codebase into one bucket, which doesn't quite match how I actually work day to day. Pinning helps a bit but caps out fast.

Would love to see custom folders come back as an option, even alongside the auto-grouping :-)

Thanks, Bree

extent analysis

TL;DR

The user may need to adapt to the new project-based grouping system or explore alternative organization methods within Claude Code.

Guidance

  • Consider utilizing the pinning feature to prioritize frequently used sessions, despite its limitations.
  • Explore the possibility of creating separate projects for distinct tasks, such as "Featherstone admin" and "Featherstone scripts", to maintain organization.
  • Reach out to the Claude Code support team to request the reinstatement of custom folders or suggest alternative features that could improve the user's workflow.

Notes

The issue lacks technical details, and the user's workflow is unique, so it's challenging to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user should explore alternative organization methods within the current system, as there is no clear indication that custom folders will be reinstated.
