USE_FOLDERSΒΆ

Controls whether to use the FOLDER target property to organize targets into folders. The value of USE_FOLDERS at the end of the top level CMakeLists.txt file is what determines the behavior.

Changed in version 3.26: CMake treats this property as ON by default. See policy CMP0143.

Not all CMake generators support recording folder details for targets. The Xcode and Visual Studio generators are examples of generators that do. Similarly, not all IDEs support presenting targets using folder hierarchies, even if the CMake generator used provides the necessary information.
