Hi Joerg,

Thanks for help.
Yes, source file collections feature should be really nice.
About Transformer in a separate file, thanks for the solution. Another 
question then : is it possible to do the same but with multiple elements 
in the separate file. I mean for example not only one Transformer, but 
multiple ones and Rules and so on.  I imagine we need a main container 
item but do not know which one I can use?
QBS is really nice but it's hard to change the way of thinking compared 
to qmake ;o)


Regards

Olivier
