Is on the list :) We cannot promise anything for 1.0, though.

We are working on this (probably already for the beta).

There is none. It's a known bug that qtcreator right now doesn't track the ui

which is of course pretty annoying ... Should be fixed for the beta, too.

Already on the list of planned features, too :)
