Opening a .pro in Qt Creator 4.7
-
Hi,
I am trying to open the Qt Creator .pro file in QTC 4.7, and all it is doing is opening the file in the text editor. Am I missing the point should it not be opening the project if I do this?
Steps;
On the Welcome screen
File->Open File or Project
Browse to qtcreator.pro
'Open'
File opens in editorTIA,
Bryan.

Do you have Qt creator source installed?
Do you have a Qt version installed?
Try to open a .pro file from the examples. -
hi @koahnig ,
Thanks for the reply. I am running a downloaded version of QTC 4.7, I have Qt 5.11 installed in ~/Qt/5.11.0. If I browse to ~/Development/qt-creator/doc/examples/textfinder/textfinder.pro I see the same behaviour (i.e. it opens the file in the text editor). If I select an example from within the QTC gui I get a error box containing :
"Failed opening project "/home/bryan/Qt/Examples/Qt-5.11.0/widgets/itemviews/addressbook/addressbook.pro": No plugin can open project type "text/plain".
Obviously I have done something wrong, but cannot see what.
Cheers, Bryan.
