[Qt-interest] Qt Visual Studio plugin doesn't honor paths on import

Because (as per default settings) they clutter up folders that should only contain source files. That can be changed, but every user has to manually change the settings. They might have to change the settings for different projects with different folder structures.

Because when I switch between command line and IDE build, I would use different paths, which means a lot of duplicate files, and a lot of wasted compile time. 


Kind regards

The actual question is: why would they care where generated files are 
placed?

You can choose from this list of options:

1) Import the .pro file using the add-in and live with the (Visual 
Studio style) placement of generated files.

2) Use "qmake -tp vc" and hope that the VS project generator respects 
MOC_DIR etc as you wish.

3) Don't use qmake.
