Description

Originally submitted to Google Code by justin.n... on 6 Feb 2014

Having the ability to exclude resource files / any other file in RIDE is a great feature. But when using the "Find Usage" feature for finding where keywords are used, might be beneficial to not search the already excluded files, in place of the current implementation of not having the ability to click them after they are found. This could help search time.

Research direction

Start at RIDE’s Find Usage feature and trace how excluded resource files are handled after results are found. Confirm the intended behavior for excluded files, then verify that Find Usage omits them while still finding usages in included files.
