    If you really want to run from a single Qt Creator (though starting a second instance is IMHO the better option), you could write a script that runs in the internal terminal, launches Application_1 and starts an external terminal (like xterm on Linux) and runs Application_2 there. Building two applications from Qt Creator at the same time could be doable, but is certainly a lot more involved.

    Well in the end I just downloaded Qt Creator directly from the Qt site. The only downside so far is that it didn't automatically integrate with my Qt installations.

    @jsulm Thanks for the hint. I didn't ask the correct question, though... The correct question: what do I have to disable in the code completion settings to avoid "end of entry" (closed bracket, semicolon, ...) suggestions?

    @DeeBee said in Build configuration is currently disabled.: ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed The there should be the actual error above this line. You should also check your release configuration for any issues.

    Windows is using \ as ₩ when using some Korean code page. And this is normal, unless ₩ is used as the Unicode symbol and not \. Qt Creator should display \ correctly since is a Unicode application. What happens if you build a new Qt Widgets application? Does it compile?

    @AnneRanch For the records: This is a question about Qt Creator. Please mention that - not everybody can guess where this popup comes from. "Create in" is the folder, in which a new project is going to be created. A project named "untitled2" in this case. The target directory doesn't look like a mount point to me. In my world, a mount point is an empty directory, which is used as the root, where external media is mounted. In this case, the mount point would be /mediaor maybe /media/nov25-1. => It looks like a directory on a memory stick has been selected to create the project there. It's a bit risky to use that as the default project location, so you might better uncheck this option.

    @AnneRanch If I get this right, you want to add a library to a Subdir project. I don't know exactly what is the structure of your project, but since you are mentioning both "include" and "library", I assume that you want to link to a library and include its header(s) in "BLUETOOTH_FT857_DEC7.pro". For that to work, it is necessary that the compiler knows the include path the linker knows, it has to link to the library and where to find it. Qt Creator's Add Library function is a comfortable UI for that purpose. You can copy-paste (hence re-use) the paths to the header and the library. You can also edit the .pro file manually. In that case, you have to add the directory where the header is located to the INCLUDEPATH variable. You also have to add a linking instruction to the LIBS variable. The linker instruction to be added to LIBS is OS specific. The documentation has a Windows and a Linux example.

    Correction: I checked another installation of QtCreator 12.0.0 and there it works. However, the difference between the two is, that on the failing one Qt6.6.1 is installed besides Qt5.15.2. Maybe these two affect each other.

    @StVO Debugger visualizer is falling over (apparently) while trying to do something like display your local Vmb... variables. I think the empty pane to the right (Name/Wert/Typ) is your Local Variables window, can you close it/select an option not to display it? Might then let you proceed. Usual issue is something to do with debug information/code in external library. Make sure everything is right version and if possible compiled for debug.

    @Christian-Ehrlicher said in Qt Designer is unable to load the custom widgets (PyQt) widgets.: You still not answered if designer was built with Qt 6.4... Yes, I have build the designer with Qt-6.4.0 Did you check that the plugin is in the correct place? Yes, plugins are in correct place. Do you see your plugin in Help -> Plugins? Yes, PyQt6.dll is loaded without pyqt plugins. Thanks.
