File generated from file watcher not appearing as "child" of original "source"
Hello,
I am creating my own command line file watcher, (OS X 10.12.1, Xcode 8.1, in C++) and have a basic system up and running. All works as expected, except that when the file watcher triggers in the IDE ...
(IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3
Build #IU-163.7743.44, built on November 17, 2016
JRE: 1.8.0_112-release-408-b2 x86_64

... the generated file is not added to the file browser a child of its parent.

(File with .rtest extension is the watched file, file with same name and .html extension is the one generated by the watcher.)
But other files, e.g.: CSS files from SCSS files, display fine:

Is there some setting/preference somewhere that I need to be configuring?

I have tried creating the output file from stdout, as well as creating the file from directly within the watcher, both show the same behaviour.
Any hints greatly appreciated.

Since version 2013.3 files nesting is done automatically, basing only on file names, regardless of File Watcher settings, internal/external change, etc. At the moment rules for files nesting are hardcoded - see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-21873#comment=27-1515879
There is a feature request for a possibility to customize these rules, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-17977. Please feel free to vote for it
