claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix NEW PROJECT [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by adding a feature to the macOS desktop app that allows users to select a project folder directly from the UI.

Guidance

• The current implementation relies on opening a project via the terminal, which does not update the app's sidebar automatically.
• To mitigate this, a "New Project" button in the sidebar could be added, allowing users to select a project folder directly from the UI.
• This would eliminate the need to use the terminal and potentially resolve the issue of the project not appearing in the sidebar.
• The priority of this feature is marked as "Critical - Blocking my work", indicating that a solution is urgently needed.
