Great!

The light grey means they were not explicitly listed in cmake, but
cmake did have an include path to that location.

You should also get headers in black -- provided you listed your
headers as SOURCES in cmake. Those will be with the other sources in
the respective target.

Whether a header is grey or black should not have any influence on the
code model: It evaluates the include paths only.

I did look into the duplicate Source Directories you reported today.
Those are caused by the same target being listed for different
projects, but so far I could not see how those targets ended up in
different projects. I think that is not even allowed in cmake, IIRC
the target names need to be unique per build system. I will need to
check the docs again to make sure though.

I need to think about what to do in such a situation. It will probably
be best to mark up the targets as "project::target" or something and
keep them separate.

Best Regards,
Tobias
