    Description

      This has occurred for me with every version of QT Creator ever since the StudioWelcome plugin has been available, built, and enabled.  It occurs even with QT Design Studio 3.6, built from source. It only works without issue with the binary version of QT Design Studio Community Edition, in which it copies the demo to ~/Documents and opens it.

      Executing /usr/lib64/qt6/bin/qtpaths --query shows:

      QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES:/usr/share/qt6/examples
      QT_INSTALL_DEMOS:/usr/share/qt6/examples

      I made sure to install the demos to /usr/share/qt6/examples.

       

      If this is not a bug and the behavior is expected for open-source builds, why is it not documented? Why allow for the building and integration of a crippled StudioWelcome plug-in for qtcreator in the first place?

       

      If it is not a bug and there's a way to fix the behavior for a compiled build, could you post and/or document it?
