    Description

      In my Qbs project file I install "hello.txt" in the same directory as the executable, but if I try to read it from my application before I click Projects/Run, it's not found because the working directory is not set; after I click Projects/Run, my application can find the file.
      I looked into it and Qt Creator doesn't write the Qbs.RunConfiguration.WorkingDirectory.default property to the project settings file until after I click Projects/Run in Run Settings. I have attached:

      • A minimal project tree;
      • The project settings file before I click Projects/Run;
      • The project settings file after I click Projects/Run.
