Qt Creator and other tools

@Jesse-Dosher @Jesse-Dosher Update: I just noticed it also happens with applications I've built using Qt6. I'm currently running Qt Creator 10.0.1, Qt 6.4.3 (also happens with Qt 6.5.1). It's beyond annoying - it's interfering with the usability of a multi-window app I'm deploying at work.

@SimonSchroeder This looks interesting, will find some time to try it. But what I have done is create a new project under my solution with the same name as the qt project. I configured it with all necessary setting. then i copied all the contents of the project into the folder of the newly created project and right clicked and added files to the project. Once the files are loaded under the project the settings are auto applied to each file.

@odelaune After cleaning all build files, etc., it appears that you were right. Unfortunately, even Qt Creator 11 does not address the issue…

@saanvi click "Manage Kits" button at left upper corner to add Qt. Your installed Qt is not set in the PATH.

SOLVED - Solution is when opening the CMakeLists.txt, in the CMake configuration section under projects tab, change generator from Ninja to NMake Makefiles JOM

@NickAger To achieve your desired command line, you could add --launch as the "Alternate executable command" and then the executable as command line argument. [image: facc0ca5-8aae-4ba1-bc26-57e30b8c7539.png]

@JacobNovitsky said in Qt Creator default presentation: once program is shut, I need to set it again. Is there a way to use script or any kind of other settings material to automate the process (avoid mechanical steps) Enable "File" > "Sessions" > "Manage..." > "Restore last session at startup"

Yes, of course, that is what I do now. But I find it convenient to hit F1 to see the class docs of the item the cursor is on... And I feed that it there is the possibility to install different Qt versions as kits, there fore sure is a mechanism to select the correct help. That said, I notices that in ubuntu I have a package called qtbase5-doc that contains the help filea, but I cannot find a corresponding package for qt6.

Hi and welcome to devnet, I haven't used this tool yet but did you follow Qt Creator's documentation about the setup of it ?

@Christian-Ehrlicher. I am using Qt Creator as IDE. I am a bit confused what to install for MSVC 2015 32-bit compilers. Do I need to install the entire Visual Studio 2017 or juts Build tools for Visual studio 2017?

just a quick update. It looks like the issue is related that I have QT build only as Release and not as Debug where my project has both configurations. I am trying to build QT 6.5.1 on windows with MSVC but I am having issues so I will update the thread once I have a better understanding. I found similar issue and asked mine for now but I am not sure if the error is related to the actual problem or just some other error down the pipeline: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76606173

I am not telling that tab. while you creating the new project, you can see this screen. select here the compiler. Here with I have attached that screen.[image: 5975cbf4-606f-471e-bd5f-778a3c592bab.png]

I'm fighting with this also, super annoying, I cannot believe no one else is seeing this.

If you mean the output of Qt Creator itself then there is no way. If you mean the output of application run by Creator, then you can control it in Projects->Run->Run in terminal.

@jsulm In my case it's a file that the executable tries to parse, but fails. It's a bug, but it's another person's code, so I'd rather not change the code until it's properly fixed.
