qss

Each time I compile my Qt project after modifying my qss stylesheet file, the modifications aren't taken into account, unless I rebuild everything.

Any idea on a workaround for this, so that I don't have to wait 5 minutes each time I change my qss ?

Notes: I use Qt 4.8, and my stylsheet is declared in a resource file (qrc).

EDIT: As suggested by Luca Carlon, when a qss is reference in the project through a .qrc file, the changes in the qss don't affect the qrc, and the compiler ignores it. To avoid that, I added a Custom Build Step to my project:

before the qmake step!
calls a .bat file without any argument
the .bat contains the real command copy /b files.qrc +,,

Should I auto-increment the assembly version when I build my software?

In Visual Studio 2003, you could easily set your project assembly to auto-increment every time you built it, but with Visual Studio 2005, this functionality was removed. You can still auto-increment your assembly version on every build, but it's a complicated custom build step instead of an integrated… >>> More
