Review request for KDevelop.


Description
-------

Currently KDevPlatform and KDevelop filter only backup files from the project manager. It would be nicer if user could add additional files/directories to be filtered.

This patch adds a configurable stringlist that is to hold globs for files/directories that are to be filtered. Current default values are set to backup files (*~ and *.bak) and darcs repo data directory (_darcs).

How that looks like from the user side can be seen on the screenshot:

How that looks from the kdev* developer's side is this:

The stringlist is exposed through ProjectController as a method "QStringList filteredFiles() const". Of course, that method is also accessible through D-Bus interface IProjectController::filteredFiles(). It is left up to project managers to actually filter files, this method just provides a standardized list of files that are to be filtered (using regexp glob).

For previous discussion that lead to this patch, please take a look at https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/103549/

Testing
-------

I have patched kdevplatform and kdevelop 1.2.2 on my Gentoo box using this patch (and another patch for cmake project manager: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/844580/kdevelop-filters/kdevelop-generic_filter-1.diff) and filtering works fine.


Thanks,

Filip Brcic
