    Default How to tell Creator about files that are not C++ files

    I have some files in my C++ project that are other than .cpp or .h files. One is an .ini file; others have to do with my code generation.

    How do I tell Creator about these files so they show up on the navigator panel so that I can edit them?

    To have .cpp files show up, I code these in the .pro file: SOURCE+=...; for .h files, HEADERS+=...

    I have coded DISTFILES+=... in the .pro file which causes things to show up in the Navigator, but I'm certain that's an incorrect usage of DISTFILES.

    It is correct. After using "Add existing file" to project and select an INI file Qt Creator creates DISTFILES rule in pro file.
