[Qt-creator] Why not separate Open File from Open Project?

[Mateusz Loskot]

Hi,

I wonder what's the rationale behind single "Open File or Project" command.
Why not to have two separate commands in the File menu?

If I have my.pro project loaded, I can't use CTRL+O dialog to open
my.pro file for editing, because Qt Creator complains:
"project already open".

So, I have to navigate to the my.pro in the Projects sidebar.

Also, how mimetypes are prioritised?
Is it safe to assume that if a file (or pattern) is both a project
and an editable text file, then Qt Creator will always load it as a project?
IOW, does project mode have higher priority than editing mode?

Best regards,
