Oh, it's simpler than that: XCode 4 does not index files in blue folders, and an Apple engineer was looking right at my project when he told me that it's intentional - that they'd expected code would go in yellow folders and only things like image files and other non-code resources would go in blue.

I believe that one of the things an IDE should do is track files being added and removed, so I'm sticking with blue, especially since there's probably at least 1000 *folders* in the whole source tree.


There is a bug on the static text editing, and it is actually useful to edit it there. It's a multi-line description of a feature in a settings pane; not something that can be just substituted in at runtime if we want it to look right in all languages.

You should hunt down that bug and file a bug report. You may have a malformed .h file in your project directory (it doesn't need to be referenced in your project, just a stray .h file in the directory along with your projects. etc. ... or a C++ syntax error that Xcode 4 can't parse (it happens...).

For us, Xcode 4 indexes about million lines of code over 1000 files or so. So, it is doable (in our case).

You should file a bug report ...

but editing static text in NSTextViews isn't that useful (IMHO). We removed all that stuff from our nibs a long time ago because it just didn't seem right.

... being in tech support myself, a "review" on a forum or list is no where near as useful as a bug report.

thanks!-
