how to add a c++ file in Qt Creator whose name starts with capital letters ? It automatically makes it small letter

Question

I am trying to add a c++ file to a existing Qt project but I can't make the name of the c++ file start with a capital letter. E.g. DownloadOsm.cpp becomes downloadosm.cpp automatically using the wizard.

Answer 1

To solve this issue do the following:

[Tools] -> [Options] -> [C++] -> [File Naming] -> uncheck "Lower case file names"

Answer 2

This is indeed the case when you try to use the wizard to add new C++ Source File or C++ Header File. For those wizards - I could not find the way to make the names to follow the name convention you chose for your class name.

However, I found that when you use C++ Class wizard, it allows you to edit the names of header and source files. So, I try to only use the C++ Class wizard, it saves me time to rename just created files and is quite convenient for my purposes.
