Re: Quick folder/file access in Emacs

[Thierry Volpiatto <thierry.volpiatto@gmail.com>]

If you have projects, these one are may be under version control.
If you use DVC,
<http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DistributedVersionControl>
you will be able to use dvc-bookmarks, and access your files from here.
(and much more, log, pull, push etc...)
Unlike bookmarks, you can create differents trees for each project,
close trees, open trees, have a different color for each tree, timestamp
for each tree and each project ...etc...
