<![CDATA[Introduction to Qt Quick - Setting Up The Project - Add Existing Directories does not work]]>My company purchased the pro license and I downloaded the latest tools, using Qt Creator version 19.0.0 and going through the Introduction to Qt Quick academy class and in the section entitled Setting Up The Project there is a section on Add Existing Directories, after I copied the two required folders into my local directory where I am building the project and by using the top project name. This does not work the Add Existing Directories is greyed out and thus I can't proceed.

How do you fix this so that you can add existing directories to a project?
