Does anybody use Qt Creator? I've just installed it on Leap 15.0 (V4.6.1 from the standard repositories) but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I've got the main window coming up and went to the first tutorial 'Help: Build and Run Examples' (Grr! another annoying program that won't allow me to select text!). Clicking on that brings up a web page <https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-build-example-application.html> and that says I should go to an example, but there appear to be no examples installed. In that case, it says to check what Qt versions are installed and clicking on that link takes me to <https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-qmake.html> and that says to 'Select Tools > Options > Kits > Qt Versions > Add' but the Tools menu has an Options... button and when I select that I get (a modal WTF!) window with lots of possibilities but none of them is Kits. Oh, and those weblinks are to Qt Creator Manual 4.7.2 so there's a possibility that the documentation is wrong because it's a different version. So what am I missing? Has openSUSE packaged it wrong so I'm missing some package or other, or is there a bug in Qt Creator, or do I have finger trouble?

I'm using qtcreator 4.7.2, but, sorry, it's hard to understand what you mean.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you don't understand.
Qtcreator's GUI is good, I think. I attach the screen shot of my qtcreator for you. Perhaps, you could image the operation method of qtcreator.
Yes, I see a similar page, although slightly different graphics. The point is that when I clicked on the first example, it took me to a web page that was the wrong version. However today, clicking on the first example takes me to the documentation installed on my machine. Which is now Bug 1115112. That takes me to the correct instructions, which are Tools > Options > Build & Run > Qt Versions and following those instructions, I added /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 to the list of versions, with no error reported. I gather that means it thinks it was successful, but there are still no examples installed. So that will be another bug in a little while, I expect, unless anybody has any suggestions.
Anyway, please install qtcreator 4.7.2;
Thanks, but that is not what I want. I generally stick to the standard repositories unless there is an extremely good reason to do something else. I think Qt Creator 4.6.1 should work as shipped.
Sorry!! > Carlos <-- Just an official pacckage only user.
Sorry, don't understand that comment.
Good luck.

Because you wrote the strange procedure.
Was what I wrote not explicit? I thought I had described what I did in some detail.

I've been doubting when the qtcreator was certified as an official package.
I don't even know what that means. It certainly wasn't what I said.
I don't thin so.
There exists oppficial qtcreator's package, but it is Qt4 base one.
Hmm, when I go to YaST and search for packages with 'creator' in their name, keywords or summary, the only relevant one is the the one that I have installed. There is no other version listed. So again, I've no idea what you mean.
MN>> Sorry!! > Carlos <-- Just an official pacckage only user.
Dave> Sorry, don't understand that comment.
Carlos is one of most active contributors on this ML. As well known, he doesn't use unofficial packages.
Ah, thanks. Missing a :) I suspect.
Thanks.
Oh well, unless anybody else has any ideas, I'll raise another bug. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I read, and understand what you mean. Dave, that is not a bug, rather, applicesions specification which many applications adopt this. Nevertheless, you might not agree. I'm leave it to maintainer.

Indeed, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I'd be interested to hear of another application that shows one (incorrect) set of help on first invocation and a different set subsequently, and which also specifies that behaviour, whilst not mentioning it in the help.
I'm leave it to maintainer.
