I have not a "goal" here I'm using qt-creator trying to solve a particular problem after about a year without using qt...
Then the answer could've been, "mod this or that conf file" and that's it. That does not need filing a bug report or anything like that...

No, I haven't said that, I've said that the concept of "Solution" easily apears when dealing with multi project situation, as a natural extension of the concept "Project+bounded session info"

I consider that's conceptually wrong... A breakpoint belongs to the project, a particular arrangement of opened files belong to the project, particular debugging parameters belong to the project,  etc etc.
"information that is interesting to the user, but not for the project" should be "global IDE settings", and them do not need to be handled as "sessions"...
