USE_FOLDERS

Controls whether to use the :prop_tgt:FOLDER target property to organize targets into folders. The value of USE_FOLDERS at the end of the top level CMakeLists.txt file is what determines the behavior.

.. versionchanged:: 3.26

CMake treats this property as ON by default. See policy :policy:CMP0143.

Not all CMake generators support recording folder details for targets. The :generator:Xcode and :ref:Visual Studio <Visual Studio Generators> generators are examples of generators that do. Similarly, not all IDEs support presenting targets using folder hierarchies, even if the CMake generator used provides the necessary information.
