    Qt is installed in /Developer/Applications/Qt on my system disk. I run Qt Creator by clicking on a dock icon that points to the file "Qt Creator" in that directory.

      I don't have access to a Mac right now but try opening the terminal utility and run:

      @
      find / -iname 'qt4project'
      @

      Then it should give you the path to that template

        Hi, Bobby -

        I tried that, and got reams of output. Is there a way to filter out the extraneous information?

            find: /dev/fd/3: Not a directory

                Hi, Rahul –

                I don't have a Trolltech directory under /usr/local.

                  Based on this "doc":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/install-mac.html, You would have set the PATH during installation i guess. So, looking at PATH may give u hint..

                    I have no idea what's going on now. I just installed the new release, and I still don't have a Trolltech directory anywhere that I can find.

                    Here's where I installed it, and what I got:

                    @Macintosh-d49a20f3c0dc:Qt mzimmers$ pwd
                    /Volumes/64_GB_SSD/Developer/Applications/Qt
                    Macintosh-d49a20f3c0dc:Qt mzimmers$ ls
                    Assistant.app InstallationLog.txt SDKMaintenanceTool.ini
                    Changelog.txt Licenses Simulator
                    Demos Madde Symbian
                    Desktop Qt Creator.app components.xml
                    Documentation SDKMaintenanceTool.app readme
                    Examples SDKMaintenanceTool.dat
                    @

                    It wanted to install into a directory under my username, but I prefer keeping my apps in a more centralized location.

                      Qt Creator.app might be an "application bundle":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_bundle#Mac_OS_X_application_bundles, "containing":http://www.mactipsandtricks.com/articles/Wiley_HT_appBundles.lasso all the files for Qt Creator, including the ones you are looking for.

                        You will find the templates for the stand alone Qt Creator app in

                        @
                        /Applications/Qt Creator.app/Contents/Resources/templates
                        @

                        The templates for the C++ files are in the subfolder "qt4project".

                        Replace "/Applications" with the folder where you have put the Qt Creator binary.

                        The path may be different for SDK downloads, I never checked those.

                          Hey, thanks, Volker:

                          Here's the contents of my folder:
                          @Macintosh-d49a20f3c0dc:qt4project mzimmers$ ls
                          customwidgetwizard mywidget.h widget.ui
                          main.cpp mywidget_form.cpp
                          mywidget.cpp mywidget_form.h
                          Macintosh-d49a20f3c0dc:qt4project mzimmers$
                          @

                          Neither of the .h files seem to match what I get when I create a new .h file. Do the default contents for new files come from somewhere else, perhaps?

                            I just checked the sources. The contents of a new header file is hard coded into Qt Creator. It is always of the format

                            @
                            #ifndef FILENAME_IN_UPPER_CASE_H
                            #define FILENAME_IN_UPPER_CASE_H

                            #endif // FILENAME_IN_UPPER_CASE_H
                            @

                            The only thing you can customize is a license template, that is prepended on the very top of the file.

                            The same holds for a single new C++ source file, with the exception, that this one is plain empty (it only contains a single newline, and optionally the license template).

                            I'm sorry - you will either need to hack Qt Creator (in file qt-creator-master/src/plugins/cppeditor/cppfilewizard.cpp) or live with the current "template".

                              OK, I can live with that (though I do find it a bit surprising that it's not configurable).

                              This is actually good news in a way...during the fact-finding while this thread was going on, I was starting to think I was crazy.

                              Thanks, V.
