    Hello everyone!

    I have the following question: is it possible to run multiple executables from the Qt Creator? I have the cmake project that contains two subdirectories projects (e.g. server and client which are obviously different applications). I want to click Run button and run server and client executables appropriately. In the Run Settings I can chose Run configuration, but the choice is not suitable for me: I can set server or client. So is it possible to run two executables simultaneously or maybe another workaround can be used?

      In Projects view, right click on subproject you want to run and click "Run". Then repeat this for your other subproject.

        @sierdzio Thank you for the answer!
        I wondered about the running in one click, but your approach is ok as well, but...
        I have no such option in right-click context menu (Qt Creator 7.0.0-beta2, 6.83.0). Looks lit this option is available for the qmake-based project and subproject. In my case cmake projects can not be run through this menu.
