Missing possibility to add external folder into set of source folders and libraries where debugger looks for source files. I would expect this feature in Debugging>Sources window. Yes, there is possibility to create new project with the same source folder(s) as folder(s) which you want to add, but this is not intuitive and this is not what you really want to do.
Thanks for this report. I agree.

I think this is a defect, not an enhancement. I was trying to debug something and tried 2 approaches in addition to not finding the possibility in this sources window: 1) opening the source in favorites, then checking it to be included in this window 2) adding a dir to the sources/debugging in the platform manager Finally a coworker told me I had to create a project from existing sources to do this. I was stuck otherwise.
