------------- OVERVIEW ------------- This repository is a project template for QtCreator. The project created is a much more complete application than the default Widgets projects provided by the Qt maintainers. Much infrastructure for opening files, recent file history and About dialogs is already in place. There are menus for: File Help Open... About Open Recent... Save SaveAs Quit The Application window geometry is saved/restored The project uses CMake (not qmake) for the build system. ------------- INSTALLATION ------------- To be able to use the project template you must install it into QtCreator and then re-start QtCreator. To install, clone the repository into the templates/wizards/projects/qmake folder of qtcreator. On Windows: C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\share\qtcreator\templates\wizards\projects\qmake According to http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-wizards.html you should be able to put it in "the local user's configuration folder, $HOME/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/templates/wizards on Linux and OS X or %APPDATA%\QtProject\qtcreator\templates\wizards on windows" I have not had success with this. Let me know if it works for you
