    Hi,

    Using Qt Creator 4.8.2, running under a Linux VM, and in the Manage Kits / Qt Versions tab it is auto-detecting about 100 duplicates of the same files for Qt 5.13.2

    Any idea how to fix this. We should just have two Qt 5.11.3 and Qt 5.13.2 installed. One is for the linux VM simulated build, and the other is used for the target Yocto Linux executable build.

    Are these store in some config file? Any ideas?

    Many thanks

      See ~/.config/QtProject/qtcreator
      You can try to rename this folder, start QtCreator and check whether you can still see the issue.

        Renaming the folder just removed the setting so the list only contained the 2 entries on first start-up. On a restart we then get 3 entries again, etc. one new one each time. The selected setting is not remembered and has to be set each time.

        Thanks
