Project Filtering

[Milian Wolff]

Hey all,

I finally sat down to implement a generic project filter interface and user 
configuration. I've published what I have so far in the projectfilter branch, 
please take a look.

What I want to know now though, is whether my fancy settings dialog I wrote 
years ago for the GenericManager actually is useful. I have the feeling that 
its too complicated, albeit powerful.

The reason it's so complicated is that it allows a twofold configuration, i.e. 
you can configure it to only include certain parts of a folder tree and then 
furthermore filter in that selection. Back then I wanted to emulate what 
Quanta offered in KDE3 times.

Anyhow, as I said, I think what we have there is too complicated. How can we 
make it simpler? Do we need this two-stage filtering? Is it sufficient to only 
offer the user a way to exclude stuff?

Furthermore, do you think it should be configurable whether to exclude VCS 
folders, object files, moc files, ...? It would easily be possible, but I 
somehow doubt it's useful?

Cheers
