[Qt-creator] [Development] Problem withQtCreator Plugin, ICore::showNewItemDialog

[Eike Ziller]

Hi,

you should probably delay that call to showNewItemDialog until the main Qt Creator window is shown.
Something like

connect(ICore::instance(), &ICore::coreOpened, this, [ourFactory] { ICore::showNewItemDialog(......., ourFactory); });

should do the job.
Br, Eike
