[Qt-creator] Project Tree

[eike.ziller at nokia.com]

Hi,

what is the reason for "virtual" folders? Why is important to you to have virtual folders in contrast to just putting the aboutdialog.* files in a real subdirectory "about"?

SOURCES += main.cpp \
   mainwindow.cpp\
   about/aboutdialog.cpp

etc?
I know that QtCreator doesn't map the filesystem folders in folders in the tree atm, but what if it would?

All in all, the project tree is not a very efficient way of navigating anyway - though sometimes helpful if you just can't remember at all how some file was named. So that's why it is there at all ;-). But as long as you have a rough idea about a file name, method name, or class name, using "Locator" (or "Follow Symbol") is usually better suited IMO.

Best regards, Eike

Well QtCreator creates a file calledyourproject.pro.user to save project settings, so i guess it could be stored there
Or maybe use comments on pro file like

SOURCES += main.cpp \

                        mainwindow.cpp \

                        aboutdialog.cpp             #/about


HEADERS += mainwindow.h \

                        aboutdialog.h                 #/about


FORMS     += mainwindow.ui \

                        aboutdialog.ui                #/about

Would be ignored by qmake and the ide could understand it

And anther vote for this.

Really we'd like to see a fully flexible hierarchy in the file view
where groups can be configured independently of the filesystem layout if
necessary (which is possible in, dare I say it, msvc).  I know its
tricky since qmake doesn't natively support logical groupings of files
but presumably this grouping information doesn't have to live in the
qmake file.

        We deal we great projects as well. And they subdivide in in
        subdirectories, but it has to lead to one library.
        So we do not use sub-project for that.
        And, yes, I also like very much to see a tree structure in the
        file
        overview that is organized as the file tree on the disk.

        Creator does this based on project organization; if you have a
        subdirs
        project, it shows each subproject as a separate folder in the
        tree.

        Meanwhile, if you have a project that's large enough to be
        spanning into
        subdirectories, you're looking at a case where you might want
        subprojects ANYWAY for the sake of build performance.
