[Qbs] Application with QML_ELEMENT in library, problem with plugins.qmltypes

[Stéphane Fabry]

Oh thanks, i miss that property and i was trying to install through a
group like this:

    Group {

        fileTagsFilter: "qt.qml.types"

        qbs.install: true   

    }

Yes it seems QtCreator look for those only in the application build
directory (in the shadow build) but that path is not available afaik
from other plugins/libraries.

My workaround is to deploy to the installRoot like a qml module:

- subdirectory with module name (or more if module name is dot
separated)

- building a qmldir file with "typeinfo plugins.qmltypes"

- deploy both qmldir and "plugins.qmltypes"   (and i was hitting the
wall on this one)

- set "qmlImportPaths" to the installRoot

That's a lot of plumbering but it works.

Thanks Christian !
