There is no such option to export/import a project in QtCreator, however...

You can copy a project folder of your application on new machine if you have identical configuration:

• QtCreator and Qt library are installed in the same path as on old machine.
• Project folder is copied into the same path on other machine.

The reason is simple: Application.pro.user file contains absolute paths.

On the other hand, you can copy your folder into any new path. Delete Application.pro.user file. And open Application.pro in QtCreator - you will create new local project. QtCreator will ask you what Qt version you want to use.

If you have a problem with your resource files, ensure that you do not use absolute paths. Open resources.qrc file in text editor and see what paths you have there.
