[Interest] CurrentProject:QT_INSTALL_BINS missing

[Jérôme Godbout]

Thganks it does work, I never realized that icon was giving variables, good to known. I wonder if that lupdate and lrelease should be part of Qt tools instead of each desktop version, mobile lack it, so all my mobile project I have to configure a desktop config just to run the lupdate and lrelease and toggle between project config. It's a bit ackward to use.

Thanks, this did it.

Per commit b55825a42000ee81e37c8e25bcd0784d26d6dc18 most "CurrentProject:" variables got removed/deprecated. 

Use "ActiveProject:QT_INSTALL_BINS" instead.

(Qt Creator btw shows you the available arguments also directly in the UI, click the 'A_B' icon right in the input field)
