Question

It doesn't look like I can add folders manually, instead the allowed projects are pre-defined based on a criteria that I can't identify, can someone please enlighten me what the criteria is?

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #7577: "Opencode Web: 'Open Project' does not show some folders" - Related to folders not being displayed in the project picker
  • #10365: "Symlinked directories not visible in project picker (opencode serve)" - Specific case of directory identification issues in the web UI
  • #1543: "[Feature Request] Adding directories / creating workspaces" - Related feature request about manually adding directories
  • #6490: "opencode web UI cannot browse or select folders outside the default user profile" - Windows-specific case of limited directory visibility

These issues all relate to how OpenCode identifies and displays available directories in the web UI project picker. Your question about the criteria for which directories are presented may be addressed by investigating these existing issues.

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.
