I expect that I just need to install QtCreator.ini into /opt/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/QtProject/ and our code style .xml into /opt/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/QtProject/codestyles/Cpp/. This doesn’t seem to work though – qt creator doesn’t seem to pick up the style.  Is there something more that I’m missing?

Hi,

as far as I can see, there is setting for “default” coding style. That means, that if you add something like 

[CppCodeStyleSettings]
CurrentPreferences=@ByteArray(mycodingstyle)

to the “install settings” (/opt/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/QtProject/QtCreator.ini looks correct to me), then this will set the coding style only if there are no user settings at all.
I.e. when running Qt Creator with a clean settingspath (e.g. with -settingspath /tmp/foosettings).
