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

[Jakov]

Hi group,

I'm giving up. Is Qt Creator able to display nested directories? In theory,
ex01.pro includes Frames/Frames.pri, then Frames.pri includes
Frame1/Frame1.pri, and Frame2/Frame2.pri. But it doesn't work as expected.

Clearly Qt Creator 2.0.0 has many more nice features as compared to 1.x.x,
but why I still find hard to use it... My favourite IDE is C++Builder 2009,
and now I'm moving to Qt's world. Could you give me your hands :-)

Thanks and have a nice day.
