Disable QML parser in QtCreator

[plaristote]

Hi !

The QML parser in QtCreator is making it impossible for me to write code. I would ideally like to trigger QML parsing myself, as it tends to trigger when it is still useless, and makes me lose a surprisingly huge amount of time in my work.

Searching for solutions, I noticed I wasn't the only one having this issue... it's been marked as « solved » in a QtCreator bug report in which the decision has been taken to move the parser into a separated thread to avoid the UI freezing.

Well... the parser does run in another thread. And the interface isn't completely frozen, but it runs slow enough that it's basically unusable. So here I am, opening this thread, wondering if I'm the only one having this issue, and if others have found ways to workaround it ?

On macOS under the Qt Creator menu, About Plugins... lists the installed plugins, with check boxes to disable them. QmlJSTools and QmlJSEditor sound like candidates to consider. I think this menu item is under help on Linux/X11, but haven't looked recently.
