That is correct. If you want to share project settings, then you need to
make sure of this.

These are user settings and I feel uncomfortable to recommend copying them
around. Different install locations, etc. Can break then.

I would instead suggest to set up configurations using the sdktool. That
tool is e.g. used by our installer to register Qt versions, debuggers and
kits. It stores the settings it creates in a system wide place, so that all
users on the machine get these settings.

So you could e.g. have a script that figures out install locations of Qt,
debuggers, etc. and then configured creator correctly.

Yeao, that should work I've everybody had the same configuration.
