Import Existing Project doesn't handle symlinks

XMLWordPrintable

      • Get a normal make project (or something like that)
      • Replace a .c file in it with a symlink to the actual file
      • Import the project to Qt Creator with "Import Existing Project"
      • Notice that the .c file is not imported

      Replacing a file with a symlink is not very common, but sometimes needed for example in a real world project due
      to weird version control tricks.
