Description

I can't find the option to specify groups without folders. Is that just me being stupid or is that option really missing?

Here's the current structure as generated from my project spec:

normal

Here's the structure I'd like to have:

new

The files in the Root Files group don't have target membership and are only included in the Xcode project so that they can be accessed easily.
