Should QtCreator sessions save compiler settings?
-
I am using QtCreator 5.0.3 (what installed with Qt 5.15.8) in Win10. When I switch sessions, it does not seem to remember which compiler I used for the session I am switching to. Currently have two sets of sessions, one set with MinGW 8.1.0 32Bit and the other MinGW 8.1.0 64 bit. When I go from one using the 32Bit compiler to one using them 64Bit, I have to change from 32Bit to 64Bit, it does not seem to remember that setting.

This is still n issue for me, now using Qt Creator v 6.0.1 and I have confirmed this behavior several times. Does anyone else have this issue? It is behaving as if the compiler used is a global setting, not specific to a project. For my work, it would make much more sense to have this be part of the session manager. I have to maintain 4 sessions, two with MinGW 64 and two with MinGW 32. If I am not careful, I end up building with the wrong compiler when switching between them. AND, I like to set release mode as well -- when changing compiler it always defaults to debug.

Hi,
The compiler is tied to a kit. From what you wrote you seem to be using a single kit and change the settings of it which I find surprising.
