Project folder exclusions are scanned on frame activation

Hello Ryan,

Content in the excluded directories is not supposed to be scanned. You can
try to take a CPU snapshot of the scanning process to see why exactly the
content is being scanned.

Using Dianna-9757 (the same holds true for the final 8.1 release) on
Mac OS X (10.5.6) with the Apple JVM (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server
VM (build 1.6.0_07-b06-57, mixed mode).

My project ends up creating several different build directories (for
the api, impl, demos, etc) all of which I've excluded in the project
settings. However, every time I switch back to IntelliJ from another
task, I see it scanning the content in these excluded folders.

Do I understand the intent of the exclusion option? Should it not
scan that content, or is it merely

an option to exclude content from the project view?

Hi Dmitry,

Actually, I think I've solved my issue.  I added this directories to the exclusion in stages.  So before
they were excluded they had been indexed.  I invalidated my caches, restarted, and that seemed
to do the trick for me.
