1852561 - When a file is ignored, there should be a text explaining it somewhere, in the hovered tooltip for example

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

My context is that I ignored some file a long time ago. There was an icon next to it that I didn't know, but when I tried to hover it, nothing special was displayed, so I thought this might just be something about the type of this file. But my breakpoints there wouldn't break.

That's only after a few mintues and right clicking on the line that I realized that the file was ignored. It could have been useful to have it shown in a different way than just the icon.

Thanks :-)

Thanks for raising the issue.

Let's keep this bug to add clear title for ignored sources. But we should also make it more discoverable:

• when a folder contains an ignored source, there should be an "unignore" option in the context menu (only works on the first parent folder at the moment)
• we could show a summary about ignored sources at the bottom of the source tree
