I am using KDevelop 4.2.3 and in my project directory there are symbolic links to a large collection of test instances. I want to tell kdevelop to ignore these directories. There is the possibility to put a file named .kdev_ignore into the directory that should be ignored. Unfortunately this feature is not propagated into subdirectories.

So, is there any way to exclude a directory and all of its subdirectories without putting .kdev_ignore files everywhere?

Update with Makefile (not CMake):

I also found a four year old Makefile symlink recursive bug which was originally patched in Kdevelop 3.5 (plus a possible second reference to the same issue).

If you decide to file a new bug report, and personally I think that you should, you should reference those two links to demonstrate regression.

  • I am not using CMake, I build the project with a Makefile. I will try updating KDevelop. Thanks for the link to the bug, though - I was already wondering whether I am the only one affected by this issue. – mattmilten Apr 09 '13 at 13:32
