It would be nice if you can explain what data you want to collect and how it will be help the creator development. In my view it is quite hard to collect data about not implemented features, so you could only provide information about what feature is used. So the data could be used to see what should be polished. But could this not lead to false impression because people don't use a 'very useful' features because the implementation is 'suboptimal'. Would in that case not JIRA a much better source of information?

The backend can be any storage and The Qt Company does not provide that. We plan to use the same backend, which we already use in online installers to collect statistics about installations. At least in case of Qt Creator, the plan is to make some analysis results available for the community. Obviously, we do not do that for our commercial tooling. Analytics is opt-in and disabled by default in Qt Creator. We plan to ask user in the installer, if the user wish to participate in Qt UX improvement. If the answers is no, the analytics plugin is never installed. When the creator is started for the first time, it will show a dialog, consisting a list of collected data items and an option to enable/disable the plugin. There will be a new output pane, which shows collected data, conversions methods, if any used, and transmitted data to the user. -- Tino On 22/02/2018, 15.26, "Simon Hausmann" <simon.hausm...@qt.io<mailto:simon.hausm...@qt.io>> wrote: Hi, Can you provide a bit more information about how this plugin / frontend fits into the Qt project?
