[Qt-creator] Documentation suggestions

[Harri Pasanen]

Sorry, I'm not buying your use scenario.

I seldom go explicitly looking for examples.  Instead I search for some 
function and lookup the reference doc.  If I'm still in doubt, I look up 
an example using the functionality I'm interested in.   iOS 
documentation very conveniently lists the example projects using the 
particular function.

So currently my modus of operandi is look up the example in help, the do 
"locate" on command line to find where the project file is and the 
navigate to it from Qt Creator.  (I'm on linux)

That said, if I want to go back to the "Welcome mode" from running 
session, how do I do that?

The examples remain where they were (in the SDK examples folder). When you build them, you can specify to use shadow building to have the files generated in some other folder.
