Hi Gabriel,

I just noticed that Qt Creator has a commandline option '-settingspath' 
that can be used to tell where it should save/load its settings from.

If you set it to for example "C:\SailfishOS\mysettings" then Qt Creator 
will use that as its settings directory. This should avoid the problem 
with non-ascii chars. In principle we could use this as a default for 
all windows installations, which is something we'll have to consider.

If you want to try this, you should add the -settingspath option to the 
SailfishOS IDE shortcut, which you use to launch the IDE.

Fixing the non-ascii chars in the bat files is proving to be a bit more 
involved than I had hoped.

Best regards,
  Juha
