Hi all,
I have just started to use Qt Creator 1.0.0 with Qt 4.5.0. I would like to create my GUI in Qt Creator and then add my existing sources of my project to Qt Creator and re-compile the whole project. Is there any way to import sources into Qt Creator? I did import some files manually (by copying into my Qt project path) but this will not work when I want to import all files (Make file problem, paths, etc.) Have you done this before?
Regards,
D.
I don't see the problem... You don't have to "import" anything. Just open the project file with Qt Creator and it will use the files from the project.
and if you want to add some existing files just right-click on your project tree in QtCreator and choose Add existing files...
Rather simple and dont need any special investigation or even reading docs - i think that less time is needed to discover that functionality yourself than for writing that post :P
Well I did know that files can be added to project like you said, but the problem is that it seems to me that some features are missing such as put all added files in a folder so added files are classified in project tree and also adding path to include folders and libraries. I had tried to add files and Qt Creator updated Makefile and everything was OK, but I need to add bunch of files and paths which I don't know how to do it in an efficient way.

have you read about pro files?
Yes I know ".pro" files and I prefer not to modify them manually since they will be updated when I add sources. I don't think my problem is there.

you are using qt creator's initial version and it doesnt have all the features of a full-fledged IDE. Most functions u mentioned like adding path to include folders and libraries and putting files in a particular folder is all done through pro files AFAIK. So nothing is wrong with your Qt creator.Quote:

just add them and they will be in project treeQuote:

QtCreator isn't a gui wrapper for all the qmake functionality so except of addin and removing files, rest you have to add to pro file manually. Whats more, you can do it staright from QtCreator - it gives you at least some syntax highlighting.Quote:

So:
- want to add some files from different folders - copy them into folder with some nice folder tree (to keep the folders and project parts more clean) and create pro file (adding files in Creator, manually or creating pro file with qmake - last is good at the beginning to get some startup pro file for modify).
- read about qmake options to make your pro file work in your favourite way (e.g. DESTDIR, UI_DIR, MOC_DIR, INSTALLS, CONFIG += build_all warn_on etc.)
- have fun with QtCreator :]
Thanks. It works so far, however all files are in same level in project tree. Anyway, Qt Creator is good enough to ignore such things.
Creator currently doesn't provide any groupping mechanism other than on the level of qmake project files (i.e. files defined in separate .pri files will be available as separate groups in the project tree).
When I open a project file, it just opens in the editor, without importing the project data.:(Quote:

Could you check in the help if all plugins loaded successfully?
