[CMake] Adding "*.obj" geometry files...

[Daniel Dekkers]

Somewhat related...

We now have the resources excluded from the build but visible in the IDE. So
far so good.
But we also want to copy them (all) to the build directory.
We have a post build command that does that. 
But if you only change the contents of one of the resource files, a rebuild
is not invoked (exclude from build) and so the files are not copied.
For another project we made specific targets (ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET) just to
handle the copying but that gives a lot of extra subprojects in the IDE.
Is there another way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel.

Yes, that's how Visual Studio shows excluded files. If you exclude a file by
setting its "Excluded from build" property manually, you get the same.
