[Qt-creator] Working directory not adjusted when moving project

Hi

When moving a project to another location, i.e. moving the directory 
with all the files pertaining to it including the .pro file, QtCreator 
doesn't adjust the working directory as compared to the build directory 
which gets adjusted to the new path correctly when opening the project 
the next time from its new location. As a result building the project in 
QtCreator is no problem but running the successfully built executable 
fails - you won't even get a reasonable error message.

To solve the problem one has to go to the  project settings, select the 
"Run Settings" tab, then click on the button with the cross-icon and 
select the name of the executable. This should be done for all 
configurations (debug, release).

I guess if QtCreator can correct the build directory setting it should 
also be able to do it for the working directory (since in most cases 
these are the same).

Regards
Ernst
