Simplify starting sub-applications in a SUBDIRS project

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      I am loading a SUBDIRS project (using TEMPLATE = subdirs) in Qt Creator. The project contains one library (TEMPLATE = lib) and two applications (TEMPLATE = app). Naturally, all have their own subdir and .pro file. The applications are a client and a server. When testing and debugging, I typically want to start the server before the client. When using the SUBDIRS project I have to change the active run configuration to run my desired application. Previously, when loading the sub-projects as separate projects I could right-click on the desired project and choose run, which was a little bit easier.

      Please add functionality that simplifies starting and debugging a sub-project.

      The reason I am now using a SUBDIRS project is because my applications have forms using resources from the library. If the projects are loaded individually, the Qt Designer plugin doesn't show the library resources.
