Adding a new folder to Komodo Edit

I am new to Komodo Edit (version 5.2 for Linux) and want to add a new “live” folder to my project. I mean, I want the new folder not only to appear in my Komodo project, but also for this folder, which will be created on my computer file system. However, when I choose to add a new item to my project and using the "add folder" option, the folder is created only in my project, but not in my file system. Looks like I'm just creating a "virtual folder". I also tried the option "add a live folder", but it seems that it can only add an existing folder.

I know this may seem a little trivial, but I expected that I could add a new system directory to my project using Komodo Edit without using a command line or browser. This seems a bit inefficient.
