How do you get it to index the source files so you can search for functions, variables, etc? The "Reload All" button does nothing. The only symbols that show up in the sidebar are for currently opened files.
With a project open, project properties, project organiser tab, it should (IIUC) index all the files with the header and body patterns but not the exclude and exclude directory patterns when the dropdown below says, auto, yes, no. If its auto, then automajikally, if yes at least on project open, if no, manually only, as you point out below.
I opened that project organizer property pane, verified the patterns, and changed indexing to "yes". Then I saved that pane saving that pane does nothing. No symbols show up in sidebar. Same for clicking the reload button: "no symbols found" in teh Symbols pane of the sidebar.
The only way I can get symbols to show up in the sidebar is to actually open source files in the editor pane.
There's a drop-down box at the right of the project pane in the sidebar, but it has nothing but an unlabled checkbox (which doesn't seem to have any noticable effect on anything).
Don't have that, suggesting you are using an olde version maybe.
