Why doesn't my Qt Creator find my files anymore? - Video

For a while I've cursed what I believed was a bug in Qt Creator - well until I filed a bug report and realized it was a feature not a bug!

What I'm talking about is rename symbols and grep in Qt creator, which didn't find all occurrences.
Turned out I had to add all the header files to CMakeLists.txt for it to work
