    Hmm...I'm on a Mac, and have no such directory. I also did an mdfind on qtcreator with no success.

    Maybe someone else can fill in the blank here.

      According to the Qt Creator sources the directory is the same for all platforms. You'll find a listing "here":http://pastebin.com/RVw4X4SC if you want to locate the directory by its contents.

          Where is Qt installed? When I installed Qt I installed it to my home directory to keep it seperately so for me it's /home/bobby/QtSDK/QtCreator

          How do you run QtCreator? Look at it's executable path from how you're calling it.

            Qt is installed in /Developer/Applications/Qt on my system disk. I run Qt Creator by clicking on a dock icon that points to the file "Qt Creator" in that directory.

              I don't have access to a Mac right now but try opening the terminal utility and run:

              @
              find / -iname 'qt4project'
              @

              Then it should give you the path to that template

                Hi, Bobby -

                I tried that, and got reams of output. Is there a way to filter out the extraneous information?

                        Hi, Rahul –

                        I don't have a Trolltech directory under /usr/local.

                          Based on this "doc":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/install-mac.html, You would have set the PATH during installation i guess. So, looking at PATH may give u hint..

                            I have no idea what's going on now. I just installed the new release, and I still don't have a Trolltech directory anywhere that I can find.

                            Here's where I installed it, and what I got:

                            @Macintosh-d49a20f3c0dc:Qt mzimmers$ pwd
                            /Volumes/64_GB_SSD/Developer/Applications/Qt
                            Macintosh-d49a20f3c0dc:Qt mzimmers$ ls
                            Assistant.app InstallationLog.txt SDKMaintenanceTool.ini
                            Changelog.txt Licenses Simulator
                            Demos Madde Symbian
                            Desktop Qt Creator.app components.xml
                            Documentation SDKMaintenanceTool.app readme
                            Examples SDKMaintenanceTool.dat
                            @

                            It wanted to install into a directory under my username, but I prefer keeping my apps in a more centralized location.

                              Qt Creator.app might be an "application bundle":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_bundle#Mac_OS_X_application_bundles, "containing":http://www.mactipsandtricks.com/articles/Wiley_HT_appBundles.lasso all the files for Qt Creator, including the ones you are looking for.

                                You will find the templates for the stand alone Qt Creator app in

                                @
                                /Applications/Qt Creator.app/Contents/Resources/templates
                                @

                                The templates for the C++ files are in the subfolder "qt4project".

                                Replace "/Applications" with the folder where you have put the Qt Creator binary.

                                The path may be different for SDK downloads, I never checked those.

                                  Hey, thanks, Volker:

                                  Here's the contents of my folder:
                                  @Macintosh-d49a20f3c0dc:qt4project mzimmers$ ls
                                  customwidgetwizard mywidget.h widget.ui
                                  main.cpp mywidget_form.cpp
                                  mywidget.cpp mywidget_form.h
                                  Macintosh-d49a20f3c0dc:qt4project mzimmers$
                                  @

                                  Neither of the .h files seem to match what I get when I create a new .h file. Do the default contents for new files come from somewhere else, perhaps?

                                    I just checked the sources. The contents of a new header file is hard coded into Qt Creator. It is always of the format

                                    @
                                    #ifndef FILENAME_IN_UPPER_CASE_H
                                    #define FILENAME_IN_UPPER_CASE_H

                                    #endif // FILENAME_IN_UPPER_CASE_H
                                    @

                                    The only thing you can customize is a license template, that is prepended on the very top of the file.

                                    The same holds for a single new C++ source file, with the exception, that this one is plain empty (it only contains a single newline, and optionally the license template).

                                    I'm sorry - you will either need to hack Qt Creator (in file qt-creator-master/src/plugins/cppeditor/cppfilewizard.cpp) or live with the current "template".

                                      OK, I can live with that (though I do find it a bit surprising that it's not configurable).

                                      This is actually good news in a way...during the fact-finding while this thread was going on, I was starting to think I was crazy.

                                      Thanks, V.
