[Qt-creator] QtCreator ignores scopes in .pro files

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I also though this was a bug or something.

It would be nice to have an option to disable this, if this is a feature. I
can see how this can be interesting for some developers, and that they
would like to see it. But in the case where one has a very large project
with a lot of conditional includes it clutters the project tree with
unneeded files. Especially when developing on a project with sub-projects.
I have gotten used to working like this, so this is not a problem, but a
setting would be nice.

PS: It also took me a while to figure out that it was just Creator that
shows everything and not my pro/pri files that were incorrect. I did spend
a lot of time trying to debug my project files...

Regards,
Carel
