    Default What's the point of "Run qmake" command?

    Why not a "rebuild" command automatically re-run qmake?

    Maybe you don't want your makefile rewritten upon a rebuild? Some people customise there makefile (or don't use qmake at all) and it would be extremely annoying for those people.

    Also, running qmake on large projects can take a significant amount of time. I'd rather not sit around waiting for makefiles to be regenerated when there's no need.
