Create folders/subfolders in an qt creator project

Question

In my Qt Project, I want to create some subfolders like Audio or Video .
Something like this:

Project\Media

Project\Media\Audio

Project\Media\Audio\Video

How I can do this?
Is there an way to add a new folder in Qt Creator? Or do I need to create this manually via the explorer?

Answer 1

Currently the only way is to add or create file that is inside of the directory - then the directory will be also created in Projects view of the QtCreator. This is not really that bad, since you can create directory while adding a new class file to the project. When the file is added to the project, also all its parent directories will be reflected in the Projects view.

Answer 2

In qt you use mkdir

bool QDir::mkdir ( const QString & dirName ) const

which will create a subdirectory called (variable dirName)

You could also use cmake which allows you to generate makefiles for every platform you need, itsteand of writing them manually. See code examples here
