Qt Creator and other tools

@Adka Do you mean something like this?

In Qt designer, you can set the button property to checkable, then you can right click the button and create or add it to a QButtonGroup, then select the group, and in the properties you can check the "exclusive" property for only one to be active at a time.

Thanks for the advice.
It turned out that I needed to manually add the CMake path to qmake.exe
After that I was able to select the CMake Tool: setting on the Kits tab.

Best use Qt Creator instead, it offers the same functionality while being a full-blown IDE at the same time.

Alternatively, you can try downgrading to some older Qt version, or use older Qt Designer with new Qt, it should still work.

My qrc file:

<RCC> <qresource prefix="icons"> <file>icons/about.png</file> <file>icons/bell.png</file> <file>icons/bell (1).png</file> <file>icons/edit.png</file> <file>icons/file.png</file> <file>icons/folder.png</file> <file>icons/help.png</file> <file>icons/home.png</file> <file>icons/left-chevron.png</file> <file>icons/person.png</file> <file>icons/raports.png</file> <file>icons/search.png</file> <file>icons/settings.png</file> </qresource> </RCC>

It is inside

@angela2016 Nice catch !

Since you found the bug and the fix, please submit a patch :-)

@que_t make sure you have CMake installed / configured in Qt Creator.

Important tips:

In-Selection Search and Replace does not work on a partial line - you must have at least one newline selected (The selection overlapping into the next line even if no text is selected). Regular expressions must be properly escaped if you wish to use the mode to find certain strings be sure to read up on regex, every symbol can be escaped to do normal text matches but you may just want to turn it off temporarily. This is important for workflows and fast-paced usage: Go into your text editor options and find the search scope highlight colors, set it to something super-obvious. For me I went with black text on yellow background. This way you are never mistaken on just what is going to get replaced. This way, if I don't see the black-on-yellow test I know right off the bat its gonna be a whole-file search. Use your subconscious powers to your advantage :3 Finally, to clarify about regular expressions, they do in fact work (at least now they do) with selection-scoped searches unlike what it used to be. As long as the search scope is showing, the selection will be replaced. Be sure to set the selected text highligting (not the search scope highlighting, the one that higlights every occurance) to something less distracting or your mind might confuse it with 'search highlight'. I see a lot of themes/styles can cause this, so be careful about that.
To review: 1) selection scope is based on the highlight, be sure to set it up (many themes set this to a not-so-useful setting, so check it) 2) use highlights to guide you and you'll soon be able to make decisions about searches without thinking based on why you see

The setup that you have should work. You can get rid of the cmake auto-setup (which should always work) by disabling the feature in Preferences > CMake > Package manager auto setup.

Then create a new project / remove the build directory of the existing project and reload the project.

You can also try to clean the build directory with Build->Clean or just deleting the build tree manually. I’ve had such failures after updates before and they can have all kinds of reasons.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Might be a silly question but is Qt installed on these other devices ?

I just checked it out , for msys2-qt users:

for msys2 UCRT-64 as an example:

git clone https://github.com/cristianadam/qt-creator-minimap pacman -S ucrt64/mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-qt-creator-devel cd qt-creator-minimap/ mkdir build cd build/ cmake .. cmake --build . cp ./lib/qtcreator/plugins/libMinimapPlugin* /ucrt64/lib/qtcreator/plugins/

P.S. I have noticed now some stupid X-small-font warning like: "ClangD was automatically disabled because it can consume much resources on my system bla bla..." (although have 8 Gigs and I7). Seems I somehow succeeded to remove that "fuse" even for new projects now, not sure how.
Oh God... I have developed code under Visual Studio 2008 before a decade ago with Intellisense with only 2,5 Gigs RAM ...

@SimonSchroeder sed etc. does not exist on Windows --- it's simply cheating!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

That's a question you should bring to the QGIS folks, they will have more experience.

Okay, I reinstall Qt fully, thankfully I managed to setup android back again without any pain. Surprisingly, on windows all tools take less space, than on macOS, only 40ish gigs. Problem now fixed, although the original reason is unknown.
