Is there a way that I can exclude certain directories from a project?

For most projects, I use adodb as a database abstraction layer and therefore, it is available in the source tree of each of my projects. The code explorer gets completely unusable though, because there are about a million classes from adoDB listed there, so that I can't find my own classes. Moreover, tag insight is also clogged with all kinds of constants, classes and methods from adoDB that I never use.

Hope you can help me ... it's a shame that some of the most useful features of PhpED are now wasted because of this.

Kind regards,

Robert.

Just move those library off the project tree. Is there a reason to have it there?

Note, that in most cases, people _want_ to get such libraries shown in the code explorer and be used in code completion dropdown. So...

Sure there's a reason to have it there ... the library is part of the website. Without the library in-place ... no DB features are available.

Only possible way to move it out of the project (as I see it now) is moving it out of the directory that is used as the project-root ... am I right?
So there is NOT an option in PhpED to just move it out of the PROJECT TREE in PhpED but keep it inside the DIRECTORY on my harddrive?

Right, it's clear. But it does not mean that the library must be in the project tree
It also does not mean that it must be in the WEB directory tree (under htdocs)
More over, it's safer to get it off the web tree. I'm not sure of AdoDB, but many other libraries does not (or not too well) protect themselves from direct usage.

Regarding projects in PhpED, they are directory-based and what directory contains is part of the project. But you can hide directories by listing their names in the "hide directories" list. (see project properties)

Yeah ... I indeed saw the "hide" feature in the Project properties.

Hiding directories though, does not mean that they are also excluded from the Code Explorer ... right?

They will be excluded on the next re-parse. To initiate it just click Refresh in the Code Explorer popup.

Somehow ... in my Project view ... the directories that I have indicated as "hidden", do not disappear from the tree ... no matter how often I refresh the project.

I probably have something wrong in the syntax.

- My project-root is: x:\projectroot
- The directory I want to hide is: x:\projectroot\cms\lib\adodb

I have tried (in the field for project properties called "Hide directories":

- x:\projectroot\cms\lib\adodb\;
- x:\projectroot\cms\lib\adodb;
- cms\lib\adodb\;
- cms\lib\adodb;
- \cms\lib\adodb\;
- cms\lib\adodb\;

None of these actually hide the directories in the project tree.

Am I doing something wrong?

just add adodb to the list, like below:

CVS;.svn;adodb

Ah! It has now indeed been removed from the project-tree. But the code-explorer still shows all the adodb classes, even after countless refreshes and after restarting the program.

that's tough day
