The logic of the feature —— "select CMakeLists.txt"

[SAquarius]

Brief Issue Summary

CMake extension has a program logic that confuses me. When I open a folder that contains a project folder organized by CMake and many other folders, I don't want to use the CMake extension to initialize or process the directory. I just want to browse or modify other files. However, the CMake extension always automatically pops up a prompt window to select the CMakeLists.txt file. As shown in the following figure:

As shown in the above figure: I opened the "code" folder, which contains multiple subfolders. The CMake directory is a project I created to learn CMake syntax, and there are also several other independent folders included. However, as I was browsing and editing Python files, the CMake plugin popped up a prompt window, which obviously does not conform to the user's logical use.

@SAquarius Thanks for the issue!

Please enable the cmake.ignoreCMakeListsMissing setting, at the user level, and this should fix your issue!

We will also take an action to update the docs to document this setting.
