Qt Design Studio Installation (Link with qt)
-
Hi,
On a freshly installed Linux Mint machine, I have installed Qt 5.15.2 and Qt 6.5.2 and Qt Design Studio 4.2.0 using online installer.- Qt Design Studio does not appear in shortcuts (But Qt Creator does)
- After opening Qt Design Studio ( by running ~/Qt/Tools/QtDesignStudio/bin/qtdesignstudio executable- Am I doing it right?-) it says "Link with Qt" at the bottom:
It also says:
But there is no Kits in Edit>Preferences in Qt Design Studio:
Also after clicking "Link with Qt" in the dialog opened I cannot select the exact location of Qt installation (because the link button is disabled)
And when I hover my mouse over installation path it lists some paths to QtDesignStudio.ini or qtversion.xml and the current selected path does not include one of these files.
Please help, I formatted my machine to get rid of this problem, but nothing worked.

Also in the Run Settings of a new project Override device QML viewer path is something like
Why is it qt6_design_studio_reduced_version/bin/qml2puppet-4.2.0, why not regular version?hp

Hi,
I haven't used Qt Design Studio yet but the "Link" part likely expects you to be pointed to a standard Qt installation like the 6.5.2 you mentioned. Qt Design Studio reduced version is there for the tool to be able to do its job. It's not meant to be an IDE for more advanced development.

Qt Design Studio is meant to use its own "internal" kits, and is not meant to "Link with Qt" outside. This bug will be fixed in the next release: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QDS-9933
