Projects

Project Format

Projects are stored on disk as XML files. Within a project, mount points are defined, each corresponding to a directory included in the project. An example is:

   <project>
       <mount name="source" dir="src/impl"/>
       <mount dir="docs"/>
   </project>
   

The above projects consists of two mount points, one for source code and one for documentation. The first has been given a name, so when Open File in Project is used, it'll appear as source rather impl.

Apart from dir and name, the other per-mount point attributes are:

• include. If specified, only files matching the given pattern will be included.
• exclude. If specified, files matching the pattern will be excluded
• dirinclude. If specified, only sub directories matching the given pattern will be included.
• direxclude. If specified, sub directories matching the pattern will be excluded

Patterns above are simple wildcard patterns (* and ? are supported), separated by commas. For example:

   <project>
       <mount name="source" dir="src/impl"/ include="*.h,*.cpp" direxclude=".svn">
       <mount dir="docs"/>
   </project>
   

The above project has had the source mount point modified to include include .h and .cpp files, but not within the .svn directory.
