Possibly so, but I'm new to Qt Creator, and I didn't see this documented. My apologies if this caused me to ask a redundant question. > Creator goes to some > length to at least warn you if you try to move a .user file between > machines. That is certainly true. > It is very much not intended to be put in revision control. Given that the file contains critical state about the build, it seems fair to ask: "why not"? I am not sure exactly what is in this file (which is why I asked), but it does contain *some* information that *should* be under revision control: the set of intended target builds. But let me ask another naive question: is this file per-platform or per-machine? That is: if I move from one Windows machine to another, is it safe to re-load this file? What about from one *user* to another (on the same platform)? Jonathan
