[Qbs] Grouping files

[Dan Pat]

Hi. I have a complex directory structure where cpp/h files reside. To add
these files to the project, I would normally create a Group and  specify
the top level directory using a wild card '**'  - saves me a lot of typing.
Now, I am faced with a task of conditionally selecting implementation files
for different platform targets, that is  files '*_linux.cpp' must be chosen
for the linux target and '*_windows.cpp' - for the windows target. There
are just a couple of such places, deep down the directory hierarchy, where
such separation is needed, not that this is a regular thing.  I don't know
of any way to exclude files using a wildcard, I guess that's what the
"excludeFiles" property is for. But using this property means I have to
create another Group to deal with implementation files which will be shown
separately in the project tree view. If what you want is a single view of
the directory structure with the appropriate implementation files shown
(and it's what I want) you need to abandon the wildcard description (to a
degree depending on the actual directory structure and location of
implementation files) and list some directories manually (a lot, in may
case). So, do I accept it and live with it? Or, maybe there's an approach I
am missing?
