Great to hear, thank you for your feedback!

That is possible and the UI here is unchanged.

No change here either:-)

You will not notice a change in behaviour till you switch build
directories to something that was not used before. In that case
creator will not try to apply what the kit told it to plus some the
changes you had done via creator (but not via any other tool) to that
new directory in some sequence that may or may not break  your
configuration.

Instead Creator will start from a clean slate using a very clearly
visible set of parameters. That is the part where you will notice
something about the change: There is a new textfield in the project
mode to set these parameters.

I really think this is a way cleaner and simpler to understand approach.

Best Regards,
Tobias
