After selecting the folder:
@gcampbell-msft @qarni What would I need to do to have this PR merged?
@itzandroidtab Our apologies for the delay, we've been in the midst of the 1.19 official version release, so we've not been able to review community PR's. We hope to get to this soon, thanks and we appreciate your patience.
@gcampbell-msft What would you call this option? And should this option also apply to the side view?
@gcampbell-msft What would you call this option? And should this option also apply to the side view?
I don't believe this option should apply to the side view, the FOLDER grouping should be used there always. The setting should only be used in the build target dropdown.
For the name, it could be something like:
cmake.useFolderPropertyInBuildTargetDropdown
@itzandroidtab Changing this to a draft PR until further changes are made. Please let us know if you have any questions but we will leave it in a draft state for a while, and then if no updates are made we may need to close it in order to keep our PRs clean. We're interested in considering this change once the settings option is added! Thanks!
@gcampbell-msft I have added the feature to the CHANGELOG.md and added the option to enable/disable this feature. By default it is turned on
