IVE: default_properties.xml file issues
Hi, I think there is a major bug in the loading of the default_properties.xml file
Apparently the tool is looking for the property file first in ~/.local/share/ESA/
folder, while the user-defined property file is located in ~/.local/share/QtProject/QtCreator
It seems that the first time Space creator is launched, the file is copied in share/ESA folder, and never updated afterwards
So if the one is qtproject folder changes, the changes are not read/applied.
Question is : what is this ESA folder and why do we need it?
Can we delete it safely when installing a new version of Space Creator ?
On one of our VM the issue was really difficult to debug. The default_attributes.xml
that we provide was not properly taken into account (only partially: only the parts that were not already covered by the version in the share/ESA folder), so a value was not generated in interfaceview.xml - while it was in a fresh VM.
The reason was that the version in share/ESA was placed there by an older version of Space creator and apparently is never updated once it has been copied. So it would always remain wrong.
