QML Library question

[cmessineo]

I’m looking to put all my QML component files (button, checkbox ect) in a centralized location. I copied them to QT_PATH/imports/components/ folder as well as a qmldir file and was able to import as follows

import components 0.1

I can use the components in a Qt Quick project no problem, but I noticed in design view they do not show up. Is there another file that is needed to make them show up in the designer library item pane, so I can drag and drop?

Thanks

import components 0.1 is valid if your components are put into some plugin
you can just simply do :

import "<relative_path_to_qml_files>"
ex: import "../../myComponent"
in <myComponent> you put all your qml files
this relative path will also be used if you put them into a ressource file but it will be a path inside the ressource not the hard drive

I don't want to use a relative path. Really no reason for me to create a plugin when all I'm doing is creating about 20 qml components that use javascript, but maybe I have to create some kind of plugin that does nothing inorder for them to show up in the designer.

Here is a link I found that kind of explains what I want to do:

http://www.qtcentre.org/archive/index.php/t-43911.html?

Install QML-Component:
1.) Copy your "custom" folder into QT_PATH/imports/Qt/labs
2.) Import your component in your main.qml

import Qt.labs.custom 1.0
3.) Write an QML-Designer Plugin with a *.metainfo-File, where you populate your Component.

I guess the question is how do I implement #3?

maybe i explained it wrong
what i meant was:
1 - do not put import components 0.1
2 - do not put a qmldir
3 - just put import "<path to you qml files>"

it will show your files in the editor and it will be usable at run time
