Creating a hierarchy folders with QtCreator: How to do that?

[robgeek]

Good evening!

Recently i noticed a curious thing. When i create a new Widget Application with QtCreator 3.3.2, the sidebar shows me all my files inside folders, for instance, look at the image attached( 1 ). But when i enter in that folder, i see this is not true. All my files are together inside the same folder. I would like to organize that and really create that folders that were shown me in QtCreator, or better, create my own folder hierarchy. How can i do that?Untitled.jpg

What you are looking for, I think, is a top level project that is a subdirs project. Create a new project by choosing:

File->New File or Project->Other Project->Subdirs Project

After you've done that, you can create sub projects that will be in sub directories, i.e. lib, src, etc.

I don't know!

I just want to create that subfolders, literally, not just in QtCreator. I tried what you suggested, but i don't know how to create a new QWidget Application. Here what i did, i created a new project, like you said and i called him "Rob".

Right click on the rob project and choose add new subproject, which can be another subdirs, or any other project type... A typical hierarchy would be something like:

Rob
- lib
- client
- server

So the top level project is really just a list of subprojects and each subproject will be whatever you want, a dynamic library, a client executable, etc.

Edit: For an actual example, I have a project where I provide both a GUI executable and a command line version of the program. To lay this out, I put the core functionality into a dynamic library project, a Qt Widgets project, and a Qt command line project organized like this:

project
- lib
- cmd
- gui
