    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.
