Qt Creator and Examples disconnect

MeadowlarkLime

I installed Qt Creator on my Fedora system using dnf. The install didn’t install the examples, so I installed them separately.

Qt Creator doesn’t show the examples in the Examples tab of the Welcome screen. Is there a way to point Qt Creator at the directory the examples are located in so that they’ll appear in the Examples tab?

You need to tell Qt Creator about the examples.

On macOS I have:

/Users/cristian/Applications/Qt Creator 19.0.0/Qt Creator.app/Contents/Resources/QtProject/QtCreator.ini

which contains:

[Settings]
InstallSettings=/Users/cristian/Qt/Tools/sdktool

At:

/Users/cristian/Qt/Tools/sdktool/QtProject/QtCreator.ini

I have:

[Help]
InstalledDocumentation=/Users/cristian/Qt/Docs/Qt-6.10.2/
InstalledExamples=Qt 6.10.2|/Users/cristian/Qt/Docs/Qt-6.10.2|/Users/cristian/Qt/Examples/Qt-6.10.2/

If you replicate this on your setup you should have Examples working.

Hmm. https://forum.qt.io/topic/163890/examples-don-t-show-up also mentions this issue, where I posted the same advice.

Please let us know if this works.

https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Examples_in_Qt_Creator has some information about the subject.
