[Qt-creator] Compilation Database project not showing files

[Andrzej Telszewski]

Hello,

tested in QtC 16.0.2 and 17.0.0-rc1.

I have the following *compile_commands.json* (stripped contents) file:

but for some reason, *main.c* is not presented in the project explorer 
(see attached) image.
Actually, only a few files are presented in the project explorer.
(In the full contents compile_commands.json there are a couple more of 
them.)

What could be the reason?

Apparently, the *symbol lookup* works, because if I type *: main* I am 
actually pointed at the *main()* implementation in *main.c*.


Thanks for your assistance!
