Unclear process of creating a new project

[rgov]

Suppose I want to start a new basic Python project. It will look like this:

my-project/
    main.py
    README.md

I follow these steps:

1. Create a New Window.

2. Write some code.

3. Save the file, using the Save dialog to create a new my-project folder and save the current editor file as main.py.

   

4. The Zed window indicates my project is called main.py rather than my-project, and if I open the Project Panel, it shows main.py. If I right click on this and select New File, nothing happens.

   

What is the correct workflow?

It might be:

1. New Window
2. Use "Add Folder to Project..." and create my-project at the same time.
3. Save editor as main.py within this folder.

It's not too complicated, but I think VS Code makes it a little more clear that there is no folder open:

I'm confused too

I have bunch of folders, I call together as project. I also make project level customizations and retain them across sessions using the persisted data in vs-code project/workspace files. How do I do it in Zed? Is there no such concept of project/workspace in Zed? Do I have to just manually remove my directories in the same Zed editor?
