Why is "Follow symbol under cursor" not working in Qt Creator for Mac OS X?

I am using Qt Creator under Mac osx, but the "Follow symbol under cursor" option to let me jump to define classes and methods doesn't really work ... it only works for local symbols. nor "Switch between method declaration / definition"

Any ideas?

Thanks for any thought. Lior

First, which version of Qt Creator are you using?

There is now a Qt Creator 1.3 release final version (1.3) that you can try: http://qt.nokia.com/developer/qt-creator-1.3-preview Qt site download section :)



Hope it helps!

As @badcat said, make sure you have the most recent version.

Also, when you have problems after the "character under cursor", it can mean 1 of 2 things.



1) I would check that you have a project that has been designed in such a way that it has all the necessary and necessary source files.

2) This is less common, but make sure you have function definitions in your header files and that they are included correctly in your source files. Contrary to what you might ask? We have a project here where instead of include files functions are defined in .cc files and extern statements are used to access other files. (This is legacy code.) In this case, Qt Creator does not know how to find anything because the files only know about each other when linking and have no other way to see each other.
