I opened an existing project (using the generic project manager) that had a filter specification in its project configuration: [Filters] Excludes=*.pyc,*/.*,*/*~ With the new projectfilter plugin this results in a completely empty list of filters. While I could accept that automatically recognizing the older filters cannot/is not supported, at least the default list of excludes for VCS files/subdirs, hidden files etc. should be applied. The widget however is completely empty. After removing the [Filters] group from the config file the standard filters are at least applied again. Re-Adding the entry and restarting KDevelop reproduces the bug again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup a project with the old filter format of the generic project manager ([Filters] group with an Excludes=*.pyc entry) 2. Open Kdevelop that has the new projectfilter plugin installed with that project 3. Open the project configuration and select the entry "Project Filter" Actual Results: The list of filters is empty. Expected Results: The list of filters should at least contain the defaults for VCS, hidden files etc. It would also be nice if the existing Exclude filter entry would be converted to the new format.
Git commit 183a81c4c0a0c47299f08e00490177d9aeacd9da by Milian Wolff. Committed on 23/09/2013 at 22:25. Pushed by mwolff into branch 'master'. Use default filter set also when the user has an old Filters config. We do not convert the old Excludes/Includes rules though, as one would need to merge the rules with the new defaults which is too much hassle.
