If you open a project you get a menu with the files and it will load the last viewed one. You also get a menu for tool commands that can be fired with one mouse-click or a keystroke. (can be just "make" but as well anything else, typically stuff that you would not want to remember when you revisit a project after some months) Swiching projects is easy and fast, two mouse clicks or three keystrokes. You can do something in one project, then switch to another, do something there, and then switch back as if you'd never left. eproject has a text menu where you can "quick search" an item (e.g. file) by pressing the first letter(s). It works on terminals too. All lists can be edited on the fly in the text menu. The data itself is stored per project in a file "eproject.cfg". The project list is stored in "~/.emacs.d/eproject.lst". eproject does not generate makefiles or anything like that. --- grischka
