Dear Maintainer,

Open a qt4 QML demo in QT creator (notably the Dial Control but happens with other examples too)
fails with tne message:
Could not copy file "/usr/share/qt4/doc/html/helper/qmlapplicationviewer" to
 "/home/user/dialcontrol/qmlapplicationviewer"

The real location of the requested directory and files is:
/usr/lib/qt4/demos/helper/qmlappicationviewer

Clearly the above location must be changed.
Copying the directory with to:
/home/user/dialcontrol/
Solves the main problem. But the example won't run either unless you change in main.cpp
the line:
viewer.setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("/qml/dialcontrol/dialcontrol.qml"));

to:

viewer.setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("/dialcontrol/qml/dialcontrol/dialcontrol.qml"));

Very frustrating for someone who is trying to learn qt.
I have no idea if the same happens with qt5-demos

Hi Wendigo!

Thanks for the bug report!

Please please please stop using Qt4. It's dead upstream and we are
currently trying to remove it from the archive. Do not heasitate:
switch to qt5.

Cheers, Lisandro.

Hi Lizandro!

Yes i will move to QT 5. I was just following VoidRealms tutorial in
YouTube (great tutorial, I'm  learning the basics). I haven't found a
similar tutorial for QT 5.  Guess I'll move to QT 5 in a couple of
months after I finish with the examples in the channel.

Thanks!

Greeting,

I have access to very vital information that can be used to
move huge amounts of money.

If it was possible for me to do it alone I would not
have bothered contacting you. Ultimately I need you to play an
important role in the completion of this business transaction.

Regards,
Mr Alexander Bulyanda
