One trick that works in most IDEs and on most platforms is to create a
new file, start editing that file, click "File->Save As" and in the
resulting dialogue go to the parent directory that you wish to add a new
directory to and then right click and select New->Directory then type in
the name of the new directory. This will create a new directory even if
you then select cancel on the file save dialogue.
Bingo! That'll work! Thanks Steve, an elegant "work around".
Gratefully,

Oh sorry, i mean: "add new source Directory" . is it what you need?
Certainly sounds like it, doesn't it? But it's not... this does not
actually add a Directory; it will find any source files in the specified
(pre-existing) directory, and add them to the Project. But, no, it does
not actually create a directory.
Right-click's "New package" *DOES* create a directory, but it has two
side effects which are not always desirable:
* Adding the directory to the Project (not what I want when creating
dirs for project management, obsolete versions, dev notes, etc)
* Creating an __init__ file in the directory... a minor annoyance
since it's zero bytes, but could conceivably cause mischief by
adding a package to the namespace unintentionally.
Right now I'm just using OS tools to create new, non-package dirs... I'm
just surprised that eric doesn't appear to support that directly...
Thanks,
MikeM
