No warning when importing directories with identically named types
-
If my directory structure is
main.qml
Controls/Button.qml
ControlsEx/Button.qmland in main.qml I write
@
import "Controls"
import "ControlsEx"
@then ControlsEx/Button.qml silently overrides Controls/Button.qml. No warning, no sign that something goes wrong. Is it OK?

Agreed to the fact that no warning is shown, as an alternative you can import the Directories with a Qualifier as
@
import "Controls" as A
import "ControlsEx" as BA.Rect { } B.Rect { }
@
will call the Rect's of corresponding QML files.

Sure I can use qualifiers.
But to do this, I must know the problem exists. Other programmer can add new type (i.e. Button.qml), with identical name to some directory (i.e. DirectoryWithNewButton). It will break all the files like this one with no warnings@
import "DirectoryWithOldButton"
import "DirectoryWithNewButton"Button { ... } // error: will use type from DirectoryWithNewButton

That would be a problem definitely. Maybe you can suggest this as a feature request to the Qt Creator developers.
