Okay, I see. Thank you for this explanation. I understand your point better
:o)

There was another corollary issue that I faced, it's the opposite problem of
yours !
I have a big source tree, a single source tree, but with many projects
inside. I have a file structure like this :

src/com/foo/app1
src/com/foo/app2
src/com/foo/app3
src/com/foo/util/tools1
src/com/foo/util/tools2
etc...

Some apps can use certain tools or not, etc...
When I'm working on app2, for instance, I need to put the whole source tree
in one single sourcepath.
There's a convienient feature with "exclude compile", but there's not such a
feature for "find usage", "refactoring", "find in path", etc... Each time
I'm doing a refactoring or a search, Idea searches the whole source tree
!!!! So it takes quite some time to complete...
My suggestion was to be able to exclude some directories from search and
refactoring.
Nobody seems really interested by this feature, but I think in some
occasions it might be very useful, especially for me at least ;o)

Cheers,

Guillaume
