[Qt-creator] How to put individual classes to sub dir

[Jakov]

Hello Alan,

I'm editing the pri files. I search the old archive, and find out that
whenever I include a .pri file, Qt Creator "creates" a virtual directory (a
node) in the Projects window (on the left side).

The main .pro file will include the frames.pri, so it would "create" the
Frames node in the window:
+ ex1.pro: include( Frames/Frames.pri)
+ frames.pri:
I think the frames.pri should do the same:
include(Frames/Frame1/frame1.pri), but it doesn't work... So I left
frames.pri empty.

At this step, if I put a class in Frames dir, the project works fine. But I
do want to make a lower level: adding Frame1 and Frame2 directories (which
include their own classes) within Frames.

There's no link line yet, Alan.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Jakov
