[Qt-creator] [Development] Requires Analyse: QML Profiler (External) Support

[This thread really is about Qt Creator, so qt-creator at qt-project.org is the better place. Please drop development at qt-project.org in any further replies]

Cool. Is this something you would consider submitting upstream? Or wouldn't s.th. like a 'Generic device' cut it, too?

Well, all the qml profiler really needs from the kit is the IP address. So you might be lucky just registering a "Generic Linux device" with your Windows CE kit (I'm not sure whether Qt Creator allows that, though).

Short of this, you can also use the qmlprofiler command line client (in %QTDIR%/bin) to record the trace, and then load the trace file into Qt Creator for further analysis.
