Hi,
 
> documentation<http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-snapshot/adding-plugins.ht
> ml#locating-qt-designer-plugins> states that "The integrated Qt Designer

You can create that folder. It is basically a consequence of Qt looking for 
plugin in the folder of the application executable.

The qmake variables only refer to the Qt installation in use, so, there is no 
way to specify a path to a Qt Creator folder outside that version's tree.
Maybe setting QT_PLUGIN_PATH to point to a standard location would help?

Friedemann
