\title Advanced Use
\QC attempts to meet your development needs, whether you are an
experienced Qt developer or a newcomer to Qt. When you install \QC
as a part of \QSDK, the default configuration allows you to start coding,
building, running and debugging applications with very little effort.
However, you can easily change or extend the default configuration, by
choosing a different build system, adding project wizards, integrating
external tools, or editing the standard MIME types that \QC uses
to recognize your files.
You can start \QC and specify some options for running it from the
command line.
This following topics describe advanced use of \QC:
\list
\o \l{Supported Platforms}
\o \l{Adding New Custom Wizards}
\o \l{Setting Up a CMake Project}
\o \l{Setting Up a Generic Project}
\o \l{Using Version Control Systems}
\if defined(qcmanual)
\o \l{Adding Qt Designer Plugins}
\endif
\o \l{Using External Tools}

\o \l{Editing MIME Types}
\o \l{Showing Task List Files in the Build Issues Pane}
\o \l{Using Command Line Options}
\o \l{Keyboard Shortcuts}
\o \l{Glossary}

\title Deploying Applications to Mobile Devices
Deploy configurations in the \gui Project mode \gui {Run Settings} handle
the packaging of the application as an executable and copying it to a
location you want to run the executable at. The files can be copied to a
location in the file system of the development PC or a mobile device.
When you are ready to publish the application on a publishing channel, you
must make sure that the installation file meets the requirements for
publishing and installing applications to the target devices. The following
sections describe the steps that you have to take to create installation
packages for publishing on different channels:
\if defined(qcmanual)
\list
\o \l{Deploying Applications to Symbian Devices}
\o \l{Deploying Applications to Maemo or MeeGo Harmattan Devices}

\title Publishing Applications to Ovi Store
Ovi Store is the global content market of Nokia, which reaches millions of
people worldwide. Consumers can access Ovi Store through either of these
platforms:
\list
\o Ovi Store applications on mobile devices
\o Web browsers on desktop computers, laptops, netbooks, and tablets
\endlist
Consumers have access to a wide selection of content and can download
content in a few easy clicks.
The process and requirements to publish Qt applications to Ovi Store are
described in the
\l {http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Guide_to_Publishing_Qt_Applications_to_the_Ovi_Store}
{Guide to Publishing Qt Applications to the Ovi Store} wiki.
This section describes how to generate installation packages that you can
publish to Ovi Store.

\title Developing Application UI
Large high-resolution screens, touch input, and significant graphics power
are becoming common in portable consumer devices, such as mobile phones,
media players, set-top boxes, and netbooks. To fully benefit from these
features and to create intuitive, modern-looking, fluid user interfaces,
you can use \l {http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qtquick.html}{Qt Quick}.
Qt Quick consists of a rich set of user interface elements, a declarative
language for describing user interfaces, and a language runtime. A
collection of C++ APIs is used to integrate these high level features with
classic Qt applications.
You can edit QML code in the code editor or in the integrated \QMLD.
\image qtcreator-design-mode.png "Design mode"
The integration includes project management and code completion.
\if defined(qcmanual)
If you need a traditional user interface that is clearly structured and
enforces a platform look and feel, you can use the integrated \QD. You can
compose and customize your widgets or dialogs and test them using different
styles and resolutions.
\endif
The following sections describe how to develop application UI:
\list
\o \l{Developing Qt Quick Applications}
\if defined(qcmanual)
\o \l{Developing Widget Based Applications}

\o Shadow building means building a project in a separate

different from the source directory. One of the benefits of
shadow building is that it keeps your source directory clean.
Shadow building is the best practice if you need many build
configurations for a single set of source.

\target glossary-development-target
\o Target means the software platform for which you develop an
application. Qt Creator groups platform specific settings (such
as build configurations, compatible tool chains, and supported
Qt versions) as targets to make cross-platform development
easier.

\title Known Issues
This section lists known issues in \QC version \qtcversion. The development
team is aware of them, and therefore, you do not need to report them as
bugs.
For a list of fixed issues and added features, see the changelog file in
the \c{qtcreator\dist} folder or the \l{https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com}
{Qt Bug Tracker}.
\section1 General Issues
\list
\o If you change the Input Languages in Windows, \QC might not
respond for 30 seconds. This is a known issue in the Advanced Text
Service of Microsoft Windows.
\o \QC uses SQLite for storing some of its settings. SQLite is
known to have problems with certain NFS servers (most notably the
nfs-user-server 2.2beta), since they can lock up the application
when it tries to lock the database. If your home directory is on an
NFS share and you encounter this issue, one option would be to
switch to the nfs-kernel-server, or create a symlink so that the
settings are stored locally.
\o The Okteta KDE custom widget plugin might be installed as part of
some Linux distributions. It can cause Qt Designer to crash. For
more information, see:
\list
\o \l{https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeutils/+bug/662005}
{Ubuntu bug 662005}
\o \l{https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-12025}
{QTBUG-12025}
\endlist
To resolve the issue, enter the following command to remove the
package:
\code
sudo apt-get remove okteta
\endcode
Or delete the following file:
\c /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/designer/oktetadesignerplugin.so.
\endlist
