Set default to release in .pro file for Qt Creator

[harveyab]

I often start a new small project by copying one that is similar, then delete the build directories and the .pro.user file.
Then the first time I start Qt Creator on that project it always defaults to debug mode.
How can I tell it always to start with release as the default in the .pro file?

Has anyone found a way to do this?
Is it possible?

Discover for yourself by reading the qmake manual. I don't know if it is possible to do what you are asking in this and your other post.

I have been reading the qmake manual for hours and cannot find anything that gives me the slightest hint of an answer.
I think I will have to give up on this one. Hopefully my other post will get an answer.
