How to save model ?

[AnneRanch]

So I use "Scratch model" ,
I can "drag and drop" from source

Now what ?

I like to expand the object in editor view , but it keeps terminating QtCreator with error message basically saying "internal error".
OK, I am doing something stupid and eventually I will figure it out.

Is there a way to save current state of the model "temporary file ?" so I do not have to keep starting from scratch?

Yes, RTFM said the model goes into "temporary file ".

ADDENDUM
Here is the real McCoy error

Hi
But why the scratch version ?
If you use the "Model"
its saved as a .qmodel file in project folder.
Its also added to the project so its easy to click on.

Hi

So I can import from existing source.
But if the other two will do , I am not against experimenting with them

If you use the "Model"
its saved as a .qmodel file in project folder.

When? Can I save it before it crashes ?

Its also added to the project so its easy to click on.

Not when it crashes and I do not know to to save it manually before crash.

ADDENDUM
Note the warning on top

No, I foloow the "new project ...etc. " See first screenshot.
I am never asked for name and location.

I shall refrain from any derogatory comments...

When I start from main QtCreator form and do not select "scratch"
I have an option to name and select file.
Still do not see it in "projects" view.
