It *should* be read, but many settings are not easily transferable between
different Qt Creator instances and these tend to get silently dropped.

Basically anything with a UUID in the path to the setting will not work anywhere
but no your own machine. This effects everything below a Kit/Target, incl. all
Build-/Deploy- and RunConfigurations.
