Since we do not parse the cmake files ourselves, Qt Creator only knows about the files in the project that are used by the configuration that you use to run cmake to generate the codeblocks project file. Please note that the base directory for the “Files in File System (f)” locator filter is the directory of the current editor. That is something that I use very often. You can also create your own filter that provides all files from some directory tree(s) http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-editor-locator.html#creating-locator-filters though these use a static list of directories and are saved globally. (Possibly it would make sense to have them optionally saved in the session instead.) A filter that provides access to all included files from all C++ files in your projects, even if they are not listed in any project, is also in the works (https://codereview.qt-project.org/101408) but that will not solve your problem for files that belong to a different configuration.
