How can I add a txt/json file to QtCreator project view?

[Curtwagner1984]

Hello,
I have a configuration txt file at the root of my project, I want to be able to see it and modify it from Qt creator, but it seems the project view ignores all non c++ and pro files.

Is it possible to add this file to the project view? I read about making a resource file and adding it there, but this is done to expose the file as a resource to the code. I don't need that. My project only uses this file on build time.

@Curtwagner1984 are you using qmake or cmake ?

anyway, qmake its

//in pro file:
DISTFILES += myotherfile.txt

cmake, I don't know 😅
