Description Christopher Layne 2007-01-28 19:12:11 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc-4.1.1 
OS:                Linux

Possibly not a bug, technically, as they are "part" of the project. But the directories have nothing of interest for the source code itself - nor can you even view any of the files contained within them from File Tree.

Any way we can get directories configured as build directories, the templates, and the automake stuff to also be considered "non-project files" ? That way they won't clutter up the File Tree view.
Comment 1 Jens Dagerbo 2007-01-28 19:22:08 UTC
Hmm.. so you're saying you want directories that are displayed as empty because they only contain files that are not project files to not display in the FileTree when it is set to not show project files?

I think this is a wish, not a bug. (And I think it's not really worth messing with the algorithm for a marginal case like this.)

Changing to wish.
Comment 2 Christopher Layne 2007-01-28 19:32:24 UTC
Yes that's what I'm saying. Why should they display as project files if they
are not project files? "templates", "debug", or "autom4te.cache" are not subproject
directories within my project - they're just auxillary directories created for/by
automake or kdevelop. Besides, what's the usefulness of having them there? You
click on them and they're empty (yes I know they're not really empty).

this should be possible with the blacklist feature in current kdev3 for custom makefile projects. For autotools its a wontfix for kdev3 and kdev4 will have a lot more sophisticated filtering options.
