What is the benefit? Why is this valuable?

Project transfer from QDS to Creator is not easy right now

What are common use cases?

Basically any workflow that involves QDS and Creator

Technical information

Creator uses CMAKE and compilers to assemble the project. QDS uses a scripting setup that is backed by qmlproject structure. With this setup it is impossible to make sure both projects stay in sync.

Problems to solve:

1) workflow from DS to Creator and back cannot be done without extra knowledge

2) projects are heavily bloated because there is no clear understanding project-wise what to include
