    Very basic q's apologies - am following a training course (Udemy) but I don't follow a couple of items

    • What's a project? If I create a new project (QT Console), close it, then use the UI to Open a project, my folder lists 3 files none of which are a project file (CMakeList.txt & .user, + main.cpp).
      If I select all 3 then it looks like it's opened it. Is that right?
    • Why's the Add Existing Files context menu always greyed out?
    • I only ask as when I add a new class, it doesn't add it to the project. (GUI -> Add to project -> (Project Name)
    • Also, 'Files are not added to CMakeLists.txt' warning appears. This happens in the training course too. That strikes me as Broken, I'm sure there must be a reason for it.
      [Edit] Also 2 It doesn't scale properly on my 4K monitor (Windows 10)

    [Edit 2] So I tried installing it on another PC as it looks so broken. 'LoadLibrary failed with error 87' on first run up. Not Impressed.

      @_craker_ said in QT Creator Newbie - Project Files & Adding new source:

      CMakeList.txt

      IS the project file for CMake based projects.
