Hi
Under "Keyboard" in Qt Creator Environment Options, I've assigned a keyboard shortcut to "Locator -
Files in any project". The actual behaviour I get looks more like "Files in All Projects", though.. In
cases where I have "non-project" files e.g. from build inside the project directory, those may be listed,
too. Is that they way it should be?
I notice that under the "Locator" tab (as opposed to the "Locator" section of
"Keyboard"), the same prefix ("a") is associated with both functions - I guess that may have
something to do with it. This is not something I've ever changed.
I'm using a not-quite-new version supplied with CentOS stream 8; I could try
building a newer release, but do you think it would make any difference?
The shortcut setting is probably a bit misleading, because what it does, is to
simply focus the Locator input and set the text to the “prefix” for the locator
filter.
That makes some sense.
I think ideally, the interface should tell me that this is how it works.
I'm not sure exactly how it might look, though.
You are right that the Files in All Project Directories and Files in Any
Project filters have the same prefix by default - this was for convenience to
have a prefix that shows “all files that are somehow related to all projects”.
This probably doesn’t fit all possible use cases - as it doesn’t seem to fit
yours ;)
Precisely. Actually, in some situations, it's useful to include
everything in that there may be documentation data, config files etc.
that aren't part of the build set-up and therefore won't automatically
be identified as "project files". But in other cases, it may for various
reasons mean getting too many matches.
. The good thing is that you can just change the prefix for the “Files in All
Project Directories” filter in the settings.
Right.
Thanks!
