I tested the 2.8.5-rc2 in my project just now and I noticed two problem
related to the above issue:
1 - My projects are all "out-of-source" but the linked resources refers
to the binary directories so it's still impossible to see the sources in
the projects.
2 - When a source file it's outside of the source directory it's not
included in the project:
-Dir1
*CMakeLists.txt
-Dir2
*Source.cpp
I hope it could be fixed in 2.8.5!
