In general, IDEs are already supported by a standard CMake project. There are just a few extra things that can help IDEs perform even better.
## Folders
## Folders for targets
Some IDEs, like Xcode, support folders. You have to manually enable the `USE_FOLDERS` global property to allow CMake to organize your files by folders:

set_property(TARGET MyFile PROPERTY FOLDER "Scripts")
```
Folders can be nested with `/`. You can control how files show up in each folder with regular expressions or explicit listings in [`source_group`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/source_group.html):

You can control how files show up in each folder with regular expressions or explicit listings in [`source_group`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/source_group.html):
## Folders for files
You can also control how the folders inside targets appear. There are two ways, both using the «command:source_group» command. The traditional way is
```cmake
source_group("Source Files\\New Directory" REGULAR_EXPRESSION ".*\\.c[ucp]p?")
```
Take a look at [this blog post][sorting] for tips on ways to automatically sort folders to match your source code layout.
You can explicitly list files with `FILES`, or use a `REGULAR_EXPRESSION`. This way you have complete control over the folder structure. However, if your on-disk layout is well designed, you might just want to mimic that. In CMake 3.8+, you can do so very easily with a new version of the «command:source_group» command:
```cmake
source_group(TREE /full/path/to/start/at PREFIX "Header Files" FILES ${FILE_LIST})
```
For the `TREE` option, you should usually give a full path starting with something like `${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/`(because the command interprets paths relative to the build directory).
The prefix tells you where it puts it into the IDE structure, and the `FILES` option takes a list of files.
CMake will strip the `TREE` path from the `FILE_LIST` path, it will add `PREFIX`, and that will be the IDE folder structure.
> Note: If you need to support CMake < 3.8, I would recommend just protecting the above command, and only supporting nice folder layout on CMake 3.8+. For older methods to do this folder layout, see
