Solved Qt Creator: Minimise file path in "Project View". How?

[bogong]

Hello all!
Is there any way to minimise file path in Qt Creator? In the *.pro file it's using relative path, but in Qt Creator "Project view" showing full path. Look on image below. Sometimes it's taking almost full screen length.

Hi,

What version of Qt Creator are you using ?

@bogong and to add to @SGaist, can you show your pro file?

@sgaist It was on Qt Creator on 4.9 and it's happening on newest 4.10. In *.pro file relative path from the project root. The *.pro file might be taken from this example

I think the problem is that you use relative paths outside the project file directory:

SOURCES += \
  ../UniversalSources/TestClass/atestclass.cpp \

Honestly, I'd restructure such a project so all files are below a specific pro file.

@aha_1980 I know why the problem is. The question was about Qt Creator ability - "Is there any way to minimise file path in Qt Creator?"

Hi
As far as I know, you cannot ask Creator to show less of the path.
You can use a .PRI file to include the outside files and only get the full path listed once.
the files under it will show base names.
