Given the word reference, how am I supposed to *know* that it means any additions or changes to the folder will dynamically appear in my project? The word Reference does not tell me that. Or at least, I don't automatically assume that's what Reference means in this context.

Of course, you probably think it's moot, but you already know Xcode. To the newbie, it's not at all intuitive. In fact, most of Xcode is amazingly unintuitive to me. Time will change that of course, but it's a shame that barrier to entry is as high as it is.

The current wording is pointing out that you can choose to have groups or references that point to folders . "Dynamic Folder Groups" would actually muddy the waters since a folder reference is not the same as a smart group or a regular group.

Question... I was thought this was confusing phrasing.... why not label these something like "Dynamic Folder Groups" -- that seems to better (and more obviously) describe the difference compared to folder references.

So, the UI could have something like:

 ( ) Recursively create groups for any added folders
 ( ) Create dynamic group for any added folders

Just a thought.
