Then I guess we disagree here. 

In fact for some things this actually makes sense, for example in
KDevelop4 we have the generated files that make up the parser for the
programming languages inside the VCS too, mainly because forcing people
who want to compile kdevelop to install yet another program (flex/bison
or flex/kdevelop-pg) is a no-go. However anybody who wants to compile a
PyQt or Qt program will have pyuic/uic available so for .ui files you
don't have to keep 2 files with basically the same content (only in
differing formats) in the VCS.

Anyway, eric4 doesn't have to do much with what I want to put in VCS or
not, because IIRC I still do that by hand...

As you probably can't figure out which files are generated, a way to
just hide files using a filter would be fine with me (and this should be
really easy unless eric4 doesn't use model/view).
