Working Directory missing in Visual Studio 2017 C++ project imported from Qt Creator. How do I set it?












0















I have a C++ Qt project that I developed under Linux with Qt Creator. I now have to make a Visual Studio 2017 project. I imported the Qt .pro file using the Qt VS Tools plugin for visual studio and everything compiles fine.



However, I need to set the working directory for my executable when debugging from Visual Studio. You can usually set this in the Project properties under Configuration Properties->Debugging. However, I have found that when I import a Qt Project with the plugin, this setting is missing.



How can I get it back? Or if this is not possible, how do I change the working directory when debugging?
