It seems a very simple question but I didn't find an answer in the old threads.
I'm using QtCreator 5.0.2 under Ubuntu 20.04.In the project tree there are several directories: some for sources (i.e. "src", "qml", "include", etc...) some in Other Files ("configs", "images", etc...).
I'm not able to rename them.
The popup menu (right-click) does not provide a "rename" action for the folders but for files only.
If I try to rename the folder on the file-system QtCreator does not detect the changes and the file cannot be opened anymore.So... what is the correct way to rename a directory in the project tree?

@Mark81 You will have to rename the folders manually AND change their names manually in the project files (.pro and .prj).

Got it. Hard to believe we need to make such a hack instead of just rename inside the IDE! Unbelievable...

Please be aware that you're not obliged to use Qt Creator IDE to develop (write/test/debug) any Qt application...
