<![CDATA[Kit selection through project]]>Hi,

I am sure that I can install multiple versions of Qt in my desktop and I can manually choose the kit in the preferences.

Question is that, can we have this kit configuration stored as part of project?

Meaning, when I load the project, choose the kit which was configured before.

Is it possible?

All that Sam was saying is not to pick any post and add your question. The reason is "maintainability". Tomorrow when some want to surf for the answer for specific problem, it will be much confusing. That's one of the reason that Sam did not answer your question here. Highly recommend you to create a new post and ask your question. Do not ask a different question in a on going conversation.

So again: stop.

What i did was
Make default gui project use, first kit
Save all and quit Creator
Go to folder and make COPY of the *.user file
Open project again and change kit
Close Creator

use tool to compare copy of .user and the .user file
like http://winmerge.org/?lang=en

Then it was really clear.

anyway

<variable>ProjectExplorer.Project.ActiveTarget</variable>
<value type="int">1</value>
</data>

points to the kit and

<variable>ProjectExplorer.Project.Target.1</variable>

define the kit

Start with 0 (zero)

Can you help me with the screenshot or an example?

Thank you Sam!

Qt Creator stores that kind of information in your_project.pro.user so when you reopen it it should load it with your kit selection etc.

Note that this file should not be part of your repository since it contains data specific to your machine and Qt installation that won't valid for someone else or simply for another platform you develop on.
