No it should have been there already. Try to create a new project in Qt creator and check what happens to the ui file. Does it crash or not. If crashing check if xml version tag is there or not.

This is strange because for me, create a new project create the same ui posted but view in qt creator add the xml version, but only in qt creator! in the source code of the ui there isn't that code!

In my case the source code has it. But when I modified the .ui to the one provided above. The editor in Qt Creator doesn't show this line.

@<pixmapfunction></pixmapfunction>@

but if I open it in any other text editor, it is shown there.

Qt Creator in Qt SDK 2010.05 is depricated, Do may be not try resolve this problem and download new version? Qt Creator 2.1 for example?

I think that you are wrong here: Qt Creator included in Qt SDK 2010.05 is Qt Creator 2.0.1, which is the latest "stable" version. The version 2.1 of Qt Creator that you mention is a Release Candidate. :)

Right Qt Creator included in Qt SDK 2010.05 is Qt Creator 2.0.1.

Stavros Filippidis IMHO using unstable Qt Creator is not a problem. It's no high load server with millions users. Release candidate is enough stable for using and includes many new features, such as QML Designer.

That's right. But in this case only pohdes is facing this problem. Will have to wait till he replies back.

Generally speaking, I don't disagree with this! My point was that the version included in Qt SDK 2010.05 is NOT deprecated, but instead it is the current official and stable version provided. So, I would make the hypothesis that the initial poster's crashes do NOT have to do with the Qt Creator's version. ;)

I agree with Stavros, 2010.05 is not a deprecated, but is the last stable sdk version. And sometimes only for a debug is useful test new 'unstable' version.
I remember the first 'beta' version of creator where it crash many times :P

I check the memory usage, it seems like QtCreator use up all my machine's memory (2GB) during opening the ui file and then it crash...could this be a vista problem?

pohdes: Did you file a bug report in our "issue tracker":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/?

Which anti-virus you've installed on your system? lol
have you tried your QtCreator with "Run as administrator" mode?

pohdes · wrote on 4 Jan 2011, 05:28

Tobias: No, I didn't file yet as I want to confirm it is really a bug first.

mohsen: I try everything, run as admin, start with window XP SP2 compatibility mode, all the same.

Create new windows user and try there.

I have exactly the same problem when opening .UI file with QT creator. It just crashed. Tried running as administrator and still experience crash. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium S

tobias.hunger · wrote on 13 Jan 2011, 16:16

Running Qt Creator as administrator is not necessary. Please do not do that.

Did anybody file a "bug report":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ yet?

HamikSu · wrote on 14 Jan 2011, 03:56

I've submitted a bug report and the recommendation given is to use latest QT Creator version 2.1

It can open .UI file now
