[Qt-creator] Qt installation not detected by Qt Creator

[Pim Schellart]

Dear Qt Creator Developers,

I installed Qt Creator on OSX. When I tried to build a project it  
complained about a missing Qt installation. Qt is installed on my  
system however but build from source instead of the default (on mac)  
installation from the binary package (which gave me lots of problems  
with other software because it installs in a different location). Qt  
4.4.3 is installed on my system in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3
Once I specify this in the options the problem is solved.
It would be nice if this was autodetected by Qt Creator since it is  
one of the default installation directories.

I was also forced to install Qt into my home directory using the  
wizard and subsequently copy the app to my Applications folder because  
it refused to install due to missing permissions. It would be nice to  
have a single drag and drop executable for the Mac (but I already  
addressed this in a previous post).

Furthermore I encountered a strange problem when importing a old Qt  
project. This project compiles perfectly with a simple qmake -spec  
macx-g++ && make but when I try to compile it from Qt Creator I get  
errors like:

QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for  
on_spectrumUpdated()

This is strange because the function on_spectrumUpdated() is a slot  
not a signal.

Another thing that I found a bit strange is that the Application and  
Compile output is editable. I would expect it to be read only since it  
is just output.

It might also be useful to have a new project button on the welcome  
screen. And maybe split the file and project menus so you can choose  
project -> new so there is a clear distinction between projects and  
files within a project. It would also be nice if one could delete a  
project :) (maybe I just missed this).

Kind regards,

Pim Schellart

P.S. Very nice IDE!!!
