Is there any way to get the problems view to just show me problems in
the project I just built? I'm trying to port things over from VS and
there's just a LOT of problems associated with that. It would be MUCH
easier if I could filter them down just a tad.

One way which I use quite a bit is - in view menu (click on little
triangle pointing down - on the right side of the view) enable
Show>Warnings on selection. After that, select a folder in Project
explorer. You gonna see only problems for this folder. You can also
"Configure contents" in the view menu to your liking.

That's what I would have suggested...
(actually this is an eclipse.workbench issue, not eclipse.cdt)

additionally:
in "Configure Contents" - now depending if you have Eclipse Ganymede or
an earlier version:
in Ganymede you'll have to check the Boxes on the top left as well (for
which configuration) - and those boxes "where severity is" and the
problem types themselves, for which this settings apply to.

In all versions then (Europa and before):
check the radio button: "On selected element and its children" (I always
wonderer, why this is not the default option!)

Afterwards when you click on the resource tree, you'll only get the
problems from the subtree or the element you selected. When editing a
file you'll only get those problems shown from that file.

Despite making the suggestion, I actually find this option a bit
inconvinient to use in our environment. What I really want is to see all
errors and warnings for a given subfolder all the time. Working in editor
selects just one file and hides away many errors I am interested in from
the view. There is an option to define working set for the folder, but I
have to switch to new different folder a way too often to define working
sets for each one of them. So I'd rather stick to the default being the
default in future.

Heh, I'd never noticed that menu. I clicked everything but those
buttons because they look too much like windows boxes. Never thought to
expect a menu in one.

Thanks. This will give me some stuff to play with.

OK. That works but I only see the warnings. Is there a way to make this
exact behavior with errors as well?

Got it. I made a new filter and checked off "On any element in same
project" as well as checking off all severity boxes.

Hm - yeah - all right. It's a bit odd (designed) behavior, that the
selection does not only depend on which branch you have selected in the
resource tree, but also on editor activity. It would be better, if it
worked as described in the setting "On the selected resource and its
children" and not "On the selected resource and its children or for the
active editor" which it is in reality. The setting as it is could be
achieved by linking the editor to the resource tree anyway.

On the other hand it's a bit strange (for me) to see errors that are not
from the currently edited file, but maybe even from another project.
