Description nb_johan 2009-05-07 10:23:35 UTC 
'Go to file' (Ctrl-Shift-O) now shows all the possible places of that file (even from the build folders).

This is quite dangegrous, because when working fast, someone can open the file from the build location,
edit it and then loose it on the next compilation. 
I also spend more time now in order to ensure that I selected the file from the right location.

There should be a checkbox 'include build folders' so that a user can disable this new functionality.

Build folders is not included in the search. It was recently fixed.
