Re: [CMake] CMake Server Mode and USE_FOLDERS
Actually, my comments were spurred on from a discussion on the QtCreator list. I am *very* happy with the layout inside of VS2015 that we have been able to generate based on the USE_FOLDERS property. QtCreator tends to use the Ninja generator to generate the actual build system. QtCreator just calls "cmake --build . " when it needs to build your project. And since they use the "Ninja" generator (which I think is user settable) and Ninja does not support the USE_FOLDERS notion, that USE_FOLDERS would need to be implemented in the Ninja generator so that CMAKE-Server mode would pass that information? I don't know how separated the Cmake-server code model is from the actual generator. -- Mike Jackson Nagy-Egri Máté Ferenc via CMake wrote: I can only speak about VS, which currently neither with the VS nor the Ninja generator use the FOLDERS property to lay out the targets inside the Solution Explorer. Instead, it maintains the folder structure of the CMake project. This was an intentional design decision from their part (at least for the time being), due to CMake folks primarily being used to the command line, thus they think in therms of the folder structure, not the logical layout of the CMake scripts.

Re: [CMake] CMake Server Mode and USE_FOLDERS
From what I've read from the VS CMake team at Microsoft in various blog posts and online discussions, they plan to have actual targets someday in VS instead of the "Open folder" structure they currently have with their integration. So right now, that information wouldn't be of any use for them since they don't even have a flat list of projects. It just takes time! Seeing from the progress they've made, I'm sure it will eventually come to the product. /Florent On 04/07/2017 12:43, Nagy-Egri Máté Ferenc via CMake wrote: I can only speak about VS, which currently neither with the VS nor the Ninja generator use the FOLDERS property to lay out the targets inside the Solution Explorer.
