Is there some way to 'automatize' plugin creation?

[Panoss]

When I make a change in my plugin:

1. I build it
2. I close the Qt Creator (or else the existing plugin cannot be overwritten )
3. I move the plugin from folder: C:\Documents\QtProjects\Tml\build-Tml-Desktop_Qt_5_0_2_MSVC2010_32bit-Release\release to the folder G:\Qt\Qt5.0.2\Tools\QtCreator\bin\designer, so the existing plugin is overwritten.
4. I re - open Qt Creator.

Is there some way to do all this automatically? (Qt Creator 2.7.0)

Hi
I use the "make install" feature

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-advanced-usage.html

Look in "Installing Files"

You can then make it copy it .

Note for this to trigger. You must make a manual make step

Example

I have ( in pro)

# if you are using Shadow build, you need to get the output folder
CONFIG(release, debug|release): DESTDIR = $$OUT_PWD/release
CONFIG(debug, debug|release): DESTDIR = $$OUT_PWD/debug

install_it.path = $$DESTDIR/data
install_it.files = $$PWD/copy_to_install_dir/*

INSTALLS += \
    install_it

This will copy the data folder in the project (copy_to_install_dir) to the build folder i folder called data . ( all files in copy_to_install_dir)

You can then just copy to plugin folder.
