Make it possible to convert a Qt Quick UI project to a Qt Quick application project

    Description

      Currently, if you create a Qt Quick UI project there's no way to create a "real" application out of the project without creating a new Qt Quick application project.

      For example, if I open a Qt Quick example from the getting started screen and would like to run the example application on my device, I need to create a new project and manually copy files from the example to my new project. For a beginner this is quite difficult to figure out.

      It would be nice to have an option in Qt Creator to "promote" the Qt Quick UI project to a Qt Quick application, or automatically create a new Qt Quick application project based on the already opened Qt Quick UI project.

      One possibility might also be to just make it possible to compile a Qt Quick UI project so that Qt Creator would add QmlApplicationViewer etc. behind the scenes and embed the Qt Quick UI project's QML files, graphics etc. to the automatically created application.
