Description Philipp Bachmann CLA 2008-04-17 05:02:15 EDT 
Build ID: M20080221-1800

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Make a new C++ Project "foo" (the details don't matter)
2. Within "foo" create new folder "src".
3. Within "foo/src" create new folder "bar".
4. Exclude "foo/src" from "Debug" configuration.
5. Try to exclude "foo/src/bar" from "Release" configuration
   - it won't work, because now the "Exclude from build..."
   menu entry in the context menu of folder "bar" is
   disabled.


More information:
In my opinion though this might be an exotic wish it should be possible.

The other way round is possible: First exclude "foo/src/bar" from "Release" configuration, then exclude "foo/src" from "Debug" configuration. The ".cproject" file correctly reflects this.

By the way: Why does the menu entry not have been labelled "Exclude from configuration..." instead?
