[Qt-creator] Beautifier Plugin Addition

[Lorenz Haas]

Hi,

I think that it does not really fit the scope of Beautifier which has
a very dedicated scope for "real"/official beautifiers such as
clang-format.

Instead, I'd like to bring up "Options > Environment > External Tools"
which seems to be a better place for your purpose. Of course it is
lacking the "automatically execute on save" for now, but this can be
added with medium effort.

Any thoughts on this issue from the cute guys?


Thanks
Lorenz
