The task scanner shows files in the build preprocessed directory when the "show tasks for the main project and for the open projects on which it depends" selection is made in task list window. Since the main reason for the TODO tasks is to trigger future source code editing, I think that only the src directories should be scanned. I think this is a defect but may be an enhancement. This is my first submitted issue.
