Projects view

The Projects View offers a file browser for your projects, including external folders that are not physically part of your project. This can be useful for including external IP in your projects.

The Projects View also offers a lot of custom Sigasi functionality, such as library mapping, version setting, and project settings.

Excluding files

Files can be excluded from showing up in the Projects View. By default, project configuration files like .project, .library-mapping.xml, and .settings are filtered. The filtering can be customized through the following settings, accessible through the Configure Excluded Files button under More Actions:

• The sigasi.projectsView.exclude setting specifies a list of glob patterns to match files that will be excluded.
• The sigasi.projectsView.excludeNonHdlFiles setting ensures only HDL files are shown.
• The sigasi.projectsView.inheritGlobalExclude setting determines whether the global exclusion filter from VS Code should also be applied.

Filtering can be toggled through the Hide Excluded Files toggle button under More Actions.
