Trying to import qt creator project from previous version?

mchinand

I don't think the .pro.user file is very portable from one computer to another. A new one will be created when you open your project in QtCreator. I never include the .pro.user file in a version control repository.

Gotcha. So should I just delete it? Is there another way to import the project?

mchinand

The .pro file has all the info about the project that you really need.

mysteriousman

Good to hear. That being said, I tried removing the .pro.user file, and re-importing, but get the same error.

mchinand

Can you post all of the error output text?

mysteriousman

Full error: "No valid settings file could be found.

All settings files found in directory ".<my path>" were unsuitable for the current version of Qt Creator, for instance because they were written by an incompatible version of Qt Creator, or because a different settings path was used."

<my path> is just a specific path on my system, that corresponds to the directory that contains the .pro file that I tried to import, and used to contain the .pro.user file we are talking about.

What are all of the non-source (.h, .cpp) files in that directory?

mysteriousman

They're almost all not cpp files, and there's a ton of them. I'm not sure what's important, so here's a screenshot. The jpg's and png's are just for the GUI itself, so don't worry about them.

I would get rid of (either delete or move out/zip them) all the snakehead.pro.* files (everything except 'snakehead.pro')

This worked, thanks! I guess it was trying (and failing) to import both the .pro.user file, and the backup ones. Removing them all fixed the import.
