That is good news.

I have been wondering how to support your use-case better.

We could have a "default .shared file" somewhere. I do not think that 
will help you though: You would need to make sure everybody has that 
configured correctly. That is most likely not that much less hassle than 
making sure everybody has their Qt Creator configured in such a way that 
the complete .shared file is no longer necessary!

Alternatively Creator could search for .shared files from the project 
directory upwards. This might actually help in your use case, but I do 
not feel fully comfortable with the implications of loosening the 
connection between a project and a .shared file. I do not want to see a 
.shared file specifically made for Qt Creator applied to the qbs 
submodule. Your .share file seems to be sufficiently generic, but that 
is not true for every .shared file imaginable. Maybe we could only load 
"default.shared" files from parent directories?

Do you have any ideas that could help with your use case?

Best Regards,
Tobias
