    But your settings say it should look for one in the project folder.

    Please check
    "Use customized style"

    so it will use that one.
    (since you did not add a config file to the project folder, it sounds like)

    Here is what I have now:
    0_1553115438641_2019-03-20.png

    0_1553115619879_2019-03-20 (2).png

    The customized style includes the following:
    --indent-classes
    --style=java / --style=attach / -A2
    -s4 --indent=spaces=4
    --attach-namespaces / -xn
    --attach-classes / -xc
    --attach-inlines / -xl
    --attach-closing-while / -xV
    --indent-classes / -C
    --indent-switches / -S
    --indent-cases / -K
    --indent-namespaces / -N
    --indent-after-parens / -xU
    --indent-continuation=# / -xt#
    --indent-labels / -L
    --indent-preproc-block / -xW
    --indent-col1-comments / -Y
    --min-conditional-indent=# / -m#
    --break-blocks=all / -F
    --pad-oper / -p
    --pad-comma / -xg
    --pad-paren / -P
    --delete-empty-lines / -xe
    --align-pointer=type / -k1
    --align-pointer=middle / -k2
    --align-pointer=name / -k3
    --align-reference=none / -W0
    --align-reference=type / -W1
    --align-reference=middle / -W2
    --align-reference=name / -W3
    --break-closing-braces / -y
    --break-elseifs / -e
    --break-one-line-headers / -xb
    --add-braces / -j
    --add-one-line-braces / -J
    --break-return-type / -xB
    --break-return-type-decl / -xD
    --close-templates / -xy
    --remove-comment-prefix / -xp

    There is no error message just not doing anything.

    Thank you for your help.

      Hi
      make sure you run it on a CPP/H file. not QML.
      It wont format QML as far as i know.

          Hi
          Not sure what it means by that.
          Please try this config. and see.

          --style=kr 
          --indent=spaces=4 
          --align-pointer=name 
          --align-reference=name 
          --convert-tabs 
          --attach-namespaces
          --max-code-length=100 
          --max-instatement-indent=120 
          --pad-header
          --pad-oper
          

          I have not seen any external formatters for QML but I think the build in works pretty ok ?

            @mrjj
            The built in QML formatter works great.
            I entered the codes you recommended into Options - Beautifier - Artistic Style - Options - Use customized style - edit, but got the same error message
            Error in Beautifier: Failed to format: The command "C:\AStyle\bin\AStyle.exe" terminated with exit code 1..

              Hi
              Ok, that is a bit odd.

              If you open a command prompt and type (past)
              C:\AStyle\bin\AStyle.exe
              it does run the tool and it lists its options ?
