Hi Danny! Yes, using the .pro-file for settings to be shared between developers is the right thing to do. Thanks for explaining that so well!

Are you using your own shadow building setup? Which variables are ignored by our use of shadow builds? Can you send us a .pro-file that breaks for you so that we can improve the situation? A existing in-source build should get detected and get imported using the settings used to create the build. This is of course not a help in the fresh-checkout use-case you mention:-/ > I hope Nokia revert this to the previous behavior (turn off shadow > builds by default). We did turn on shadow-building by default since we need to improve the multiple platform use-case. That is a real pain with pre-2.0beta creators since switching platforms totally confuses make, thus resulting in broken builds and all kinds of strangeness. There is just too many complaints about this to ignore;-). So shadow-building is -- from our perspective -- a must have for the next version. However we are open for suggestions on how to minimize the impact on other use-cases.
