Cant select Qt Creator in Ubuntu Select Application Menu

[JacobNovitsky]

Installing Qt Creator and Qt from source, usually it was fine
Kindly advise

@JacobNovitsky There is either:

• No Qt Creator desktop file present in the places Ubuntu looks (possible). That would include:
  • /usr/share/applications
  • ~/.local/share/applications
• Or the desktop file does not list text/plain as an associated MIME type. Cannot see why Qt Creator would associate this out-of-the-box

@JacobNovitsky If you want to undo what you did then just do so. You did keep a backup, right?
