Unsolved Qt Creator automatically creates a "Run configuration" that i don't and will never want
-
I have several editions of my app, Lite, 2, "Lite Debug" and "2 Debug". i have created build and run configs for each. but Creator insists on creating a run config for my project, which i don't want. see:
see how it's created "kJams_win" ? that is not useful to me. Whenever i delete it, it gets re-created. How can i permanently get rid of this?
-
@davecotter You don't have to use those Run configurations. Is it really an issue to have them?
-
the question is can i remove it or not? and if so, how?
it's not about why i want it removed. -
@davecotter
Hi
I don't think you can. All projects have a run config pr default.
However, it seems to be a new feature.
-
hmm bummer. okay thanks.

@davecotter
If its really annoying, you can use other version of Creator.
Its not tied to Qt version.
However it will still created them but its hidden in Projects. -
it is really annoying, as i'm a declutter addict, but "Being on the latest tools" need slightly edges out my declutter need. 🤷🏻♂️

Heh. I hear you.
You can have both if you download Creator source and build a new version not showing the
extra info.
There might be an option for it, but i doubt it. -
Of course each project has (a) run configuration(s), how else is Creator supposed to know what and how to run when you hit F5 (debug) or Ctrl+F5 (run) ... Usually the run configuration will follow closely the build config, not always and I currently develop an application with a custom run config.
-
@kshegunov perhaps it wasn't clear, but the auto-created run config is unuseful to me. i've created my own (actually useful) custom run configs as you can see in the screen shot
-
Okay, then I must've misunderstood. On the configuration pane, there's a remove button, isn't it working?
-
It works for a minute, but a minute later, that config auto-reappears.
so weird!
-
Creator creates a run configuration for each executable binary that is built by your build system. Just remove them there -- why do you bother to build those if they are useless?
-
@hunger as you can see in the screen shot, i am creating no such build configuration.
-
so is this considered a bug then?
-
@davecotter You can also rename 'kJams_win' as you want, for example 'Lite'.
-
but it's not a "Custom Executable", which i require. it's literally useless clutter.
