      My project is saved in a special directory. Why does the editor generate these redundant files

          Please provide more information:

          • Which OS and version?
          • Which Qt version?
          • Which Creator version?
          • Which project manager do you use?
          • What do you mean with "a special directory"?
          • Where is the build directory of the project?

          Thanks and regards

              I mean, which kind of project are you using: QMake, CMake, Qbs, something else?

              Also, you didn't tell about your build directory. If the files are generated within this directory, then all is fine. These files are needed for code navigation and project build.

              Regards

                All components come with the editor. My project is saved in D: / project / my, but many redundant folders and files are generated in the root directory of D disk

                    Hi @canid,

                    you still didn't tell us about your build directory.

                    Also, where does your TEMP directory point to?

                    Regards

                      The build directory has been mentioned above in d:/project/my.Does the editor still have a temporary directory to set?It wasn't needed before

                              The project construction environment is the default. The temp directory is C: \ users \ admin \ appdata \ local \ temp. Why does this happen?

                                    Meaningless retaliation would've been banning you, which nobody has done. Also farming for reputation points, if nothing else, is a rather dubious approach, which is at the very least quite annoying ... and rather unfair to the people that actually help others thus gaining reputation honestly.

                                    Why do certain people continue to viciously diminish my reputation, and what hidden purposes do these people have?

                                    Nobody can diminish your reputation, reputation's earned, not given; you got this backwards. As a side note, some people (like me), may be annoyed by being pushed for no obvious reason. This is a user forum so nobody owes you.

                                      No, as a matter of fact, the moderator has been reducing my reputation for no reason since I first came here. It can be seen clearly from the operation list, but now it is suddenly hidden. The reason is puzzling. Yesterday, my reputation fell to a negative value for no reason.

                                          You're a regular user so you can't see nor can you know who downvoted you. I imagine this decision was made by the NodeBB team (the platform the forum runs on) to prevent malice.

                                          The reason is puzzling. Yesterday, my reputation fell to a negative value for no reason. However, the moderator doesn't care about this matter, I didn't do anything wrong,please don't besiege me for no reason. It's meaningless

                                          Let me be absolutely blunt, as I like to be:

                                          Nobody is besieging you, even if there are annoying qualities in your posts. Personally, I'm ticked off by your back-to-back posting. I find posting 2-3 times in a row, single line each, a distasteful behavior. You were already told this isn't a chat room, so you could've modified that behavior and edited your posts, had some patience with people, but you chose to ignore that.

                                          In fact back then I followed the thread, the one you posted a screenshot of, however I distinctly remember deciding not to write anything. The obvious reason was that I was not feeling compelled into empty arguing about something rather irrelevant. You were asked to provide code that can be compiled, or at least something faithful to what you attempted, which you did not do. Instead you went on a spree to argue that code isn't needed to solve the problem. That argument, even if true, which it isn't, was, and still is, irrelevant to the actual issue.

                                          So now after that rather lengthy missive let me ask you something:
                                          How do you expect to be reputable if you don't respect other people's pleas, questions or even suggestions?

                                          PS.
                                          The particular post you uploaded a screenshot of was not downvoted by a moderator. Moreover I can count at least 7 syntax errors in that snippet, which could've been rectified if you posted the code one-to-one. If this is the exact code you wrote on your machine, you could've said so, in which case you could have been guided to a C++ tutorial (nothing to do with Qt, but we try to help people nonetheless). Again, you chose instead to go into a long-winded argument about code posting being necessary or not. I speculate here, but I imagine this is the reason you got downvoted too, although to be certain I have to ask the actual user who did it, assuming he remembers.

                                          Read and abide by the Qt Code of Conduct
