Yet that is not the case for me. I have projects where the targets are shown (though no longer "expandable" to show the files they depend on), and projects where the "Show Targets" button doesn't do anything. I think that's even the case with most projects I have.

We're basically fetching the targets from
<builddir>/CMakeFiles/TargetDirectories.txt.

We don't have information about what's in the target nowadays (I've
tried to make cmake offer it, and they took a very complex turn which
didn't result in much).

Help is welcome, as it is it won't get more features.
