QtCreator does not support legacy behaviors with respect to importing qml files

I'm new to Qt Creator and having issues with what I feel is a very simple task.
I wish to import qml files in a subdirectory of my project using the documented

 import "relativePathToFile"

technique.

I'm following along with this specific youtube tutorial:
link Lets ReCreate Tesla UI in Qt and QML 

This tutorial is using an older Qt5.x based QtCreator, but I am able to generate a empty screen app and create a "bottomBar" widget successfully.

Then the tutorial shows how to cut/paste this widget into a seperate qml file called "BottomBar.qml" and this file is placed in a directory relative to the main project at the relative path:
"./ui/BottomBar".

I am able to get the compiler to accept this, but when I attempt to run, the loader cannot find this referenced qml object.  In looking at the "Generated Files" the relative path qml file did not get copied/generated into this "shadow" project.  

I'm currently on the trail of how to get this to work, as I want to prototype some GUI's and would like to have relative paths to the various panes of the GUI as I develop it.

This seems like a very simple thing that is broken. .

I have attached a screen shot and a small project illustrating the problem.

The build system somehow is failling to capture and transfer these relative dependencies.
