Creator: Reparse externally changed files works only sometimes
-
My projects depend on public header files, which are in the include path. These files are not part of any of the opened projects, and they may change due to external programs.
Sometimes, an entirely new file is added to the include path. In this case, Creator will not recognize this file even after I manually select "Reparse externally changed files".
Is there a separate function to "reparse include paths for new or changed files"? At the moment, my only way is to close and re-start Creator.

Tools -> C++ -> Reparse externally changed files
I don't know exactly what it does, but it sometimes helps me to get consistent code completion suggestion after function signatures in external files have changed. -
Hi,
I don't think that there's such a feature. You should bring it to the Qt Creator developer team.
