Options te remove/hide default flutter widgets in summary tree

[stan-at-work]

Add options to remove or hide the default package:flutter directories in the summary tree.
Currently, the tree is cluttered with widgets. I want to select a widget that I created in my own widget packages located at:
C:\repo\tooling\flutter-tools\

I don’t want to see any other widgets from other frameworks or packages — not even the default Flutter ones.

It seems that I cannot hide the default Flutter widgets, but they clutter the tree with unnecessary data. I only want to see my own widgets.

Proposed

Add the ability to exclude directories and packages — including the default Flutter package — from the summary tree.

Here is a example:

---

DevTools version: 2.48.0
IDE: VSCode
Connected Device:
CPU / OS: x64 (64 bit) windows
Connected app type: Flutter native (debug build)
Dart Version: 3.9.2
Flutter Version: 3.35.6 / stable
Framework / Engine: 9f455d2486 / d2913632a4

Hi @stan-at-work - normally, you wouldn't see widgets from the Flutter framework in the tree. Is it possible that one of the package directories includes a copy of the Flutter SDK (for example, repo/tooling/lisaexpedition/flutter-tools?

You can also try hitting the "reset" button (next to the Add button under Package Directories) to reset to the defaults. Thanks!

Hello,

Unfortunately, no. My project doesn’t contain any Flutter SDK of any kind.

I tried your suggestions, but I still see the Flutter SDK widgets, my package widgets, and my app widgets all appearing in the tree.

Also, even if that were the issue, it wouldn’t completely solve the problem since I still wouldn’t be able to turn them off.
