[SOLVED] customizing templates for source/header files
-
Hi -
I'm sure there's a way to do this, so I'll ask: how do I modify the templates that are provided when I create a new file through Creator? I'd like to elaborate on the template for the header files, and create one for the source files (since none seems to exist).
Thanks.

Is QtCreator/share/qtcreator/templates what your are looking for?
-
I can't find such a directory structure in my file system; where does this reside?
Thanks.
-
What is your system ?
In my installation, on Windows 7, I have : C:\Qt\QtCreator\share\qtcreator\templates
More generic : %QTDIR%\QtCreator\share\qtcreator\templates
-
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.
-
Weird...I'm not finding any of that on my system.

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?
-
try looking for 'qtquick10'
-
@sh-3.2# find / -iname '*qtquick10'
find: /dev/fd/3: Not a directory
find: /dev/fd/4: Not a directory
sh-3.2#

I dont know much about Qt on Mac, But have you checked /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.2/ or something similar to this ?
-
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?
