thanks that what I thought
however it would be nice to have that feature (Eclipse has it)
so I just create new file in the folder and I'll see it in XCode
automatically
(for example I;m working with other people and I updated my CVS files
then sometimes new files could appear and I'd like to see them in
XCode project automatically)
Actually, this is what folder references do, BUT we don't track the
files and folders in the folder reference when it comes to the build
system. So it's great if you are using an external build system to
build your sources (like a makefile), but files and folders in a
folder reference won't be tracked by Xcode's own native or jambase
system.

thanks again

Nope, normal groups look like manila folders, references to
folders are blue (like the folders in the Finder), and smart
groups are purple (think iTunes and Mail).
few days ago I tried to setup XCode in such a way that if I add
new file into the folder
it will be automatically added to the project
so I decided to use appropriate radio button when I copy/paste
folder hierarchy into the project
so I really saw blue folder(s) in the project window
but it looks like all of those files don't belong to the project
and I didn't find a way to change it
so probably that is useful for ant based projects or something
Yeah, once you add a folder reference, if you want the files and
folders inside directly tracked by Xcode, you need to remove the
folder reference and re-add the folder as a group.
Most of the time you'll want to use groups, but folder references
are useful where:
- you aren't using the Xcode build system and you just want quick
access to the files from within Xcode without having to add/remove
files (think open source projects that are using a makefile).
- you have a set of resources or files that need to be copied
somewhere or the whole folder itself needs to go into Resources.
