Hi, in order to keep a big project organized I understand that it is good practice to have a structure of folders, each containing a bunch of code files that belong together. There must be a proper name for that, maybe "project tree" or "code hierarchy" - I don't know (I am almost totally self-taught).
The QtCreator, being a good IDE, further separates .h from .cpp files, presenting them as different (virtual) folder structures. As a speciality for Qt, the .qml files have been integrated as a folder inside Sources. Can you tell me a starting point for some "best practice" information on how to achieve a proper folder hierarchy within that qml folder? QtCreator behaves a little odd here, it seems to have two "philosophies", interfering with one another. My structure *before* having a subfolder for my .qml files (simplified a lot): Project - myProject.pro - Headers - - src - - - controller // many .h files in nested folder structures - - - model // many .h files in nested folder structures - Sources - - src - - - controller // many .cpp files in nested folder structures - - - model // many .cpp files in nested folder structures - - qml - - - qmlFile1.qml - - - qmlFile2.qml - - - qmlFile3.qml // everything crammed into one folder without hierarchy, in alphabetical order - - - qmlFile4.qml - - - qmlFile5.qml - - main.cpp - - qml.qrc // automagically organized by QtCreator, in chronological order I would like to have an organizing folder structure for the .qml files, too. But when I start doing this (for example with "add existing directory"), QtCreator reacts "interestingly": - #1: The new folder does *not* appear inside the qml folder, but inside a new "top level" entry "QML", alongside Headers and Sources - #2: Every file from the Sources/qml folder reappears here, as an entry doublette - #3: In myProject.pro all .qml files (incl. the new one) are being added to DISTFILES (probably the reason for #2) - #4: The resource file qml.qrc has not changed, the new file in the subfolder is missing here. Project - myProject.pro - Headers - Sources - - qml // like before, without the new folder and file - - main.cpp - - qml.qrc // no entry for the new folder or the new file - QML - - newFolder - - - newQmlFile.qml // << my new folder and file structure - - qmlFile1.qml - - qmlFile2.qml - - qmlFile3.qml // everything from Sources/qml reappears here - - qmlFile4.qml - - qmlFile5.qml What is the recommended way to organize my .qml code base without having entry doublettes? Is it possible to have qml.qrc working like before? Thanks for reading!
