If you plan to open VS2010 or later project files you want to consider changing the file extension used by Qt Creator to store its project settings which defaults to .user as that particular extension conflicts with Visual Studio's user settings.
To change the extension export an environment variable with the name QTC_EXTENSION and set it to something else, e.g. set QTC_EXTENSION=.qtc.
Restart Qt Creator for the change to take effect.
- Add support to load & build solution files
