[Feature Req- Qt Creator] "Close Project" command should close all associated documents
-
Currently in Qt Creator, the "Close Project" command closes the project but does not close any currently open documents associated with that project. This can lead to confusion and clutter, with documents from the closed project still open in the "Code Editor" window and still listed in the "Open Projects" window.
It is hard to see a use case for this current functionality. It would be more user friendly and accurate if the "Close Project" command actually closed all documents associated with the specified project.

Good idea. Feature requests should be filled in "Jira":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa.

:D like that one!

Yep, this one is pretty basic! Agreed.

I posted a feature request to the Qt team but it was closed/rejected. I discovered that there have been a number of previous requests for this basic functionality, all of which wee rejected.
Apparently they find it too difficult to figure out how to address this and made a claim that the "sessions" feature provides this functionality, which clearly it does not. I've seen this before, where developers defend an obvious usability design flaw as a "feature" or non-issue, being unable or stubbornly unwilling to see the obvious use cases it affects.
A shame but not much to do about it.
