open pdf file in creator project ?

[deleted28]

Is thee a way to add existing pdf file to creator project and view it as pdf not as binary ?
Is this possible with odt-files (OpenOffice, LibreOffice) ?

hi
I wanted that too for design docs etc but never found a way to open with external program
by just double clicking.

So I instead I right click and "Show in Explorer" and then click it.
You can also choose Open With -> System editor.

Not what I wanted but better than not having access from project.

"Show in Explorer" <- Windows Explorer ?

Yes it open a window where file is.
So I keep the files in a Doc folder which I have included and
can get to it fast that way.

In linux is something like "File Manager"

Also, right click and Open With -> System editor open the program directly but i find it a bit of a hassle to open sub menu when I open more than one doc :)

ps. I tried all combination of ctrl/shift/alt while clicking but no luck.

Not a solution but more info on the issue:
If you go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> MIME Types you can see the list of registered MIME types (including Application/pdf) and handlers associated with them. What is missing is the ability to change the default specified there. This is mentioned in e.g. QTCREATORBUG-13880, but it seems the issue has no momentum, so you might leave a comment there or give a shout to the mailing list to bring some attention to it.

@Chris-Kawa
Oh that is very good info.
I tried to use my forum login but it seems
Qt Bug Tracker uses it own system ?
