    hello!
    when I create new project, I don't have subfolders such as header, source and form folders for my project files. all my files are located at one folder (project folder).
    How can I change the organization of project files?

    this is part of my .pro file

    SOURCES += \
            album.cpp \
        pictures.cpp \
        databasemanager.cpp \
        albumdao.cpp
    
    HEADERS += \
            album.h \
            gallery-core_global.h \ 
        pictures.h \
        databasemanager.h \
        albumdao.h
    

    and this is screen shot of the project hierarchy:
    alt text

    thanks for help! :)

      @YoniBE You can put your files in subdirectories and edit the pro file to reflect these changes:

      SOURCES += \
              somedir/album.cpp \
          somedir/pictures.cpp \
          somedir/databasemanager.cpp \
          somedir/albumdao.cpp
      
      HEADERS += \
              someotherdir/album.h \
              someotherdir/gallery-core_global.h \ 
          someotherdir/pictures.h \
          someotherdir/databasemanager.h \
          someotherdir/albumdao.h

        to add to @jsulm

        if you include files from an other directory you'll have to adjust the include statement:

        #include "someotherdir/pictures.h"
        

        or add the directory to your Includepath in your *pro file

        INCLUDEPATH +=$$PWD/someotherdir

          Dosen't work..
          I create new folder at the project folder named "sources", then I added to pro file

          SOURCES += \
                  sources/album.cpp \
              sources/pictures.cpp \
              sources/databasemanager.cpp \
              sources/albumdao.cpp
          

          But I don't see any difference at the project hierarchy. I tried to create a new project and do the same but still I don't see any difference.
          I remember that once it was automatically... like in visual studio

            @YoniBE You should run qmake after editing pro file

              still, I don't see any differences.
              this is the output of the qmake

                slove it.
                I changed the hierarchy view to file system view instead of project view and it worked.
                Thanks!!
