[Interest] QMake contains and include

[Jérôme Godbout]

I understand your point, but I would love to see a different UX for non include .pri to be quickly different from the one included (now I have to dig to the resources, headers or sources to see the difference). It would be nice to see the .pri grey out or something more obvious. Or even better an option to show/hide them.

I guess you also would prefer refactorings, searches for occurences of symbols and translatable strings not to happen in branches of your project that are currently not active.

That's not the case for everybody.
