Create a new directory when a new file ends with `/`
This feature is present in almost all editors but in zed, doing so crashes the editor.
Release Notes:
- When creating new file via project panel, a filename ending with
/creates a directory.

Worth noting vscode let's you create nested folders and optionally a file at the end, things like:
foo/barfoo/bar/foo/bar/bazand so on, which is a lot more complicated because it's ok for some prefix of the path to already exist. I think I actually found a vscode bug around this behavior, with in the folderfoo, it won't let you create the filefoo:But with the folder
fooand the filebarinside it, it won't show anything wrong creatingfoo/bar, but will fail to do so:Could always be added in future prs of course.
I think I actually found a vscode bug around this behavior, with in the folder
foo, it won't let you create the filefoo:
I think you are creating the file at same level as foo directory that's why this issue is coming.
To create a file inside a directory, you have to select the directory first. It'll look like this
But with the folder
fooand the filebarinside it, it won't show anything wrong creatingfoo/bar, but will fail to do so:
Noticed that in zed, even without this PR, it fails silently. We may need error for that but that can be separate PR.

It was intentional, I gave it as an example of what trying to create a duplicate file should do, rather than letting you create the file and get the filesystem error
