Thank you for confirming my suspicion that multiple Qt Creator instances were fighting over the data C:\Users\esutton\AppData\Roaming\Nokia\qtcreator\ > >You can try to have different settings pathes for all your different > >instances (use the "-settingspath some/path" argument).

While I love Qt Creator it may be easier to force myself to never use more than one instance of Qt Creator at a time when working under Windows. Unfortunately this is an annoying issue for Windows users of Qt Creator. Under Linux I find multiple instance of Qt Creator very useful. I wish I could use it the same under Windows. Thanks again for your suggested work-around! -Ed > > Best Regards, > Tobias > _______________________________________________ > Qt-creator mailing list > Qt-creator@qt.nokia.com > http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator > _______________________________________________ > Qt-creator mailing list > Qt-creator@qt.nokia.com > http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator -Ed _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@qt.nokia.com http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
