    I'm using Qt Creator sessions to manage different projects. However it seems that build options are not saved in session information, instead they are a global setting.
    I have 2 projects that link two libraries, libA and libB, that must be compiled with different CONFIG options. What I see is that:

    • CONFIG options are not changed when switching between sessions
    • build directories for libraries are not changed when switching between sessions.

    Is that the intended behaviour? Is there a workaround that doesn't require to manually edit build options each time?

      CONFIG options are saved in .pro.user file and that is single per project.

      So if you share single project between 2 sessions, the CONFIG will be shared, too. A workaround would be to keep 2 copies of the project (a PITA, I know).

      Please check Qt bugtracker, maybe this issue has been raised there already. If not, feel free to report it.

        It seem that there is an open issue; https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-16487.

          Voted.

          One thought that this bug description suggests: perhaps there is an easier workaround. Add another (dummy) session with no open projects. Then when you want to switch your sessions do this:

          • session 1
          • dummy
          • session 2

          That should trigger project settings to be refreshed.
