Use Qt-Designer from Qt5 when Qt6 is installed

[Alex_2]

Hi!

I am using Manjaro with KDE-Plasma as followed:

KDE-Plasma-Version: 6.2.5
KDE-Frameworks-Version: 6.10.0
Qt-Version: 6.8.2

How can I use the Qt-Designer from Qt5 with this setting (the package ‘qt5-tools’ which includes the Qt-Designer is installed)?

When I simply start the application from the launcher, then I get Qt-Designer in version 6.8.2.

Thank you!

Welcome to the Manjaro community @Alex_2

From a terminal, run the command designer-qt5. The application menu launches designer6.

You could always create another menu entry for designer-qt5 (which is actually just a symlink in the /usr/bin/ directory to /usr/bin/designer):

ls -la /usr/bin/designer*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 448680 Feb  2 20:33 /usr/bin/designer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     25 Feb  2 10:33 /usr/bin/designer6 -> /usr/lib/qt6/bin/designer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      8 Feb  2 20:33 /usr/bin/designer-qt5 -> designer

Works! Thank you for your quick answer!
