Oh :(

I don’t suppose there’s any chance of supporting more shells (popular ones like [t]csh, zsh etc.) ?

The SHELL variable from Qt Creator’s run configuration is not yet set at that moment - actually that is what the sourced script is doing.

I don’t, and I’d be happy to try that, but [*blush*] I … can’t find that.

 - I’ve looked in Projects [icon on the left] -> Project Settings, but it only has options for ‘Editor’, ‘Code Style’, ‘Dependencies’, ‘Clang Code Model’ and ‘Clang tools’ (which is just about suppressed diagnostics)
 - I’ve looked in Preferences -> ‘Build & Run’
 - I’ve looked in Preferences -> ‘C++’
 - I’ve looked in Preferences -> Debugger
 - I’ve clicked on the Debug icon (on the left) and scanned for options (can’t see any)
 - I’ve gone through the ’Tools’ menu, and nothing springs out at me.
 - I looked in Preferences -> Kits -> (click on "Desktop Qt 5.12.3 clang 64-bit”)

In desperation, and as an absolute last resort, I *even* looked in the help (!) [grin] (but still couldn’t find anything)

So where is it ? Any hints ?

Cheers
