Why are Qml files saved in resources visible in 'Sources' folder with Build 'Release'?

I just updated to Qt 5.11.1 with Qt Creator 4.6.2 (Win10) and realized that if I switch to Build 'Profile' or 'Release all my qml files saved in resources are moved to the 'Sources' folder. Does anyone know why this feature was introduced and how can I switch off it? Thxs...

Additionally the file icons under 'Sources' are not visible...

Hi,

When you say moved to the Sources folder, do you mean using the "Projects" view or physically on the disk ?

@SGaist: Hi, I meant using the 'Projects' view, not physically.

Does it happen with a default Qt project ?

@SGaist: yes on every project.

Just found the solution. Go to 'Projects/Build Steps' and deselect 'Enable Qt Quick Compiler'.

Thanks for sharing !

I do wonder if it shouldn’t be a bit more documented.
