Hi, I'm new to KDevelop4 but old to CMake. I'm trying to debug someone else's CMake project. I created an "out of source build," but due to some project-specific errors, I wanted to start over with a clean slate. I delete the build directory and the .kdev4 file in the source directory. But when I try to create a project again, something is restoring the old directory information from somewhere. The App Wizard doesn't give me any options or choices, I'm stuck with what I did in the past. Help me get out of this ghost of CMake???

Ok, I've found that deleting or renaming the source directory is a workaround, but I wouldn't want to have to do that in general.

2nd question: I notice that a .kdev4 file and a hidden .kdev4 directory are polluting my source tree. Is there some option to get rid of these? CMake developers usually take source tree purity pretty seriously. Did KDevelop4 just decide they weren't going to do it that way?

The project configuration is in the .kdev4 folder.

And we think that this is out-of-source enough, just like e.g. a .gitignore would be.

Oh and the non-hidden *.kdev4 file is actually not supposed to be hidden but could actually be checked in since it should (and can) be shared by multiple kdev4 users.
