KDE4's ktimetracker loaded as QtCreator project

To create your C++ applications you can use any text editor. But life will be much easier if you gain QtCreator's features. That means

• you can get your source code saved, built and run with one click
• you get code-completion
• you can find all places in your source code where you call a function (e.g. "where do I call refresh()")
• you can go back to a more recent cursor position with your editor, even if this is in another file
• you can checkout and commit to Subversion or Git repositories without leaving your workflow
