Qt Creator 4.7.0
Description
I'm guessing at the component here.
Based on qt-interest mailing list, there was a lot of +1s in response to standardizing kit names. 2018-08-29th and 30th.
It might be a minor point, but I think it would be good to have more uniform kit name structure.
I'd like it to be Qt / Version / Platform like
Qt 5.10.1 for Desktop
Qt 5.10.1 for iOS
Qt 5.10.1 for iOS SimulatorInstead I currently see:
Android for armabi-v7a (GC... Qt5.10.1..)
Desktop Qt 5.10.1 clang ...
Qt 5.10.1 for iOSEither iOS has to come first, or Android, Desktop, have to come last. I think for readability (and sorting) it should beĀ
<Qt version> / <Platform> / <Sub platform>Where subplatform is Simulator, or CPU architecture This way, all Qt platforms of the same version would be grouped together. Since I regard (and I think others) Qt version as the first logical grouping rather than platform (who wants to select Platform, then Qt Version?, maybe if enough people want it, make it dynamic?)
Replies also suggested removing "Qt" but one opposed.
"Desktop" was also requested to be replaced with something more meaningful.
This might flow into a QtCreator issue, with changing the Kit selection mechanism to auto group on prefix (Qt->Version->platform>)
But in general the preference for Version then platform was dominate.
