I would hope so; otherwise there'd be a bug ;) > Is there any way to avoid the cleanup process for selected files or a > certain rule. No, but I think you can achieve what you want like this: Rather than setting the destination directory of the generated files to the source directory (which I assume you are doing at the moment), simply create them in the build directory as normal and add a second command to the respective rule(s) that copies the just-generated file to the source directory. This copy would not be listed by an Artifact item or outputArtifacts script, so qbs won't know about it. This way, the copy belongs to you, rather than to qbs.
