[Qt-creator] Disabling File Changed dialog

[Ilyes Gouta]

Hi,

I've been experiencing this annoying behavior too in my Qt Creator
project where I have couple lex and bison files generated, where I get
that dialog at every build cycle!

Best approach: Give the choice to the end-user. We could for example,
add a tick box for such a dialog (per file?) to let the user ignore or
accept such a warning. Another global setting would restore all the
warnings for the entire project.

Regards,
Ilyes Gouta.

P.S: Qt Creator rocks! we've been dreaming about such an IDE for a
long time! Keep up the good work!
