Qt Creator - No automatic addition of source files to a project?
-
I was editing a source file under a directory that is part of a Qt Creator project - when I did a project-wide search, I realised that Qt Creator was refusing to find any hits in the file! After some messing around I realised that Qt Creator didn't consider the file part of the current project - I've since discovered the Projects view, right-click -> Add Existing Directory...
Do I have to go through the process of adding source files every time a file is not created in Qt Creator (i.e. copied in)/someone else adds a file to a project? In the current example, every source file under the main directory is part of the project without question.
Thanks

HI and welcome to devnet,
Is the file listed in your pro file ?

Sorry, even though I'm subscribed I didn't get an email saying you responded??
This is not a Qt project, a bogstandard autotools one - I'm assuming the equivalent is '<projectname>.files', at the top-level directory? Looking at this, I'm assuming that Qt Creator doesn't really have a 'project directory' here and just a raw collection of monitored files?

For the mail thing, check your account settings, it might be off.
It might be a glitch in the autotools plugin
