    Default Problem Editing Resources with Qt Designer

    I've just started using Qt Creator 2.0.1 on Linux (Ubuntu) and I'm struggling to understand how to manage UI resources through Qt Designer.

    I'm reading the docs here: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/designer-resources.html which explains how to define and edit a resource file in Qt Designer.

    The trouble is that I can't locate the Resource Browser - the docs state that I need to:
    "enable the resource editor by opening the Tools menu, and switching on the Resource Browser option."
    but I don't have any such option in the Tools menu.

    If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    Default Re: Problem Editing Resources with Qt Designer

    I finally got this resolved with some help over at QtDevNet Forums. So, for anyone that's wondering, the answer is that the docs are misleading. The Qt Designer that's embedded within Qt Creator seems to be a subset of the standalone Qt Designer's functionality and that subset does not include the resource browser/editor that I was trying to locate.

    For some crazy reason the Qt Creator docs link directly to the Qt Designer docs with no mention that some of the features might not be available in Qt Creator.

    The full thread is here.
