Whoopps I done it again - how to rename "MainWindow" ?

Anonymous_Banned275

I did not pay attentions and build a standard "MainWindow" project.
It saves time and it is easier to debug to build a project and ad it as subproject / library to the main project later...
Now I have to rename all "MainWindow" to something else...
I am planning to do it BEFORE I add the project to the main project - which already has "MainWindow"...

Not that easy task when QDesigner is used to manage forms.

Of course I make few backups...

Any helpful suggestions how to make the job easier would be appreciated.
Thanks

Here is what I mean - it is NOT that easy to "serch and re-place "

If using an IDE that supports refactoring then there is sometimes a command to do it for you, otherwise...brute force

in linux

for i in $(rgrep -H MainWindow . | awk '{ FS=":"; print $1; }'); do
sed -i .bak 's/$i/new_name/g' $i
done

@AnneRanch I would suggest:

Right click on your project
Choose Qt Files and Classes template
Choose Qt Designer Form Class
Select Main Window
This time, name it like you want it to
Finish the wizard
Delete old "MainWindow" from project
