[Qt-creator] Qml Designer does not always show QQuickItem

[Hartmann Thomas]

Hi,

> Thank you so much for this quick workaround. It does, of course mean, that I cannot use qmlplugindump in an automated process for generating .qmltypes files. 
I was told that specifying the dependencies explicitly in the qmldir file (depends <ModuleIdentifier> <InitialVersion>) or with an argument for qmlplugindump circumvents the issue.
But I did not have time to test this, yet.

We are already working on making both qmlplugindump and the Qt Creator code model more robust.

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hartmann

Thank you so much for this quick workaround. It does, of course mean, that I cannot use qmlplugindump in an automated process for generating .qmltypes files. I will have to make my development process a bit more cumbersome. I have found two issues with .qmltypes files in my projects, which I had to manually change. I had to delete:

- components imported from the Qt library (QQuickItem)
- components imported from other plugins of mine

Is help on its way to fix the bug, so that qmlplugindump generates something Qt-Creator can use without modification? As far as I see, qmlplugindump would only have to avoid printing components, which are imported from other plugins.

Although changing qmlplugindump would avoid the bug to appear on screen, I would prefer to know, that Qt-Creator will be improved, so that multiple definitions of classes will either be merged or an error message produced, that makes it clear, that the metainfo for a given class can only exist in one place. And I beleive a race condition is always worth fixing.

Thank you again for your kind help!
