           Summary: KDevelop should not scan excluded directories when
                    rescanning projects
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 3.5.1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: jowereit web de


Version:           3.5.1 (using KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I have some sub-directories of my (PHP) project directory which I want to exclude from the project. For that, I have defined the following in Project Options -> Script Project Options:

  Include files: *.php,*.css,*.js,*.txt
  Exclude the following patterns: *~,*/my/project/documents/*,*/my/project/another/subdirectory/*

where "documents" and "another/subdirectory" are the folders I want to exclude. (If I omit the trailing asterisk or the trailing slash and asterisk, the directory is not excluded at all.)

The exclusion works, however during startup, KDevelop's CPU consumption is at nearly 100% for half a minute. "strace" shows me that indeed KDevelop scans each and every file in the excluded directories, slowing the startup process down significantly.

One solution would be to stop the recursive scanning if a directory matches one of the "exclude" patterns. That would be true for all the subdirectories of "documents" and "another/subdirectory", but not for the files that are in the directory itself.

So, it would be even better when a whole directory could be excluded by such a pattern, e.g.

  Exclude the following patterns: *~,*/my/project/documents,*/my/project/another/subdirectory

Regards,
Johannes
