Hi
Instead of starting with Designer , try to learn by examples -- use code snippets you can find in the
Qt documentation that go along with any QML element description. You need
Qt 4.7 , find there the document chapter
QML elements , then on each the document article there is link to "more..." information where you can find how to use the element with code example. Start a project "Hello World" and try these examples there. The advantage of using code typing instead of code generation is -- you will understand it, becides QML Designer ruins QML document with layout rules that in most cases are inappropriate
QCreator designer seems incomplete. however i have not seen crashes but i don't use it.
Regards,
Igor
