I know it, but I think it's better to do one edit Field with File  
Dialog for people that do not
have some skills with plain gdb.
It's a simple GDB's command:
directory [dirpath]

I got it worked, I tried to debug in gdb plain mode (i was not easy to  
recollect it :-) ) and found that I use gdb in mode which it searches  
sources on remote host (with my old special patch). I reinstall gdb to  
default instance  and all become work correctly and from QtCreator too.

Andre, thank you a lot for your assistance, and special thanks for  
your assistance on holidays :-)
Have a nice development with Qt-Creator!
