When I use AUTO functionality for qt and cmake, it generates additional

First, doesn’t anyone know how to set the folder property on the autogen
targets?
Second, what do people think about adding a
“QT_GENERATED_TARGETS_FOLDER” into the Qt cmake flow, so this is done
automatically?
With a recent enough Qt and using qt_standard_project_setup() [1] I
don't see the target clutter.
Which versions of
- Qt
- CMake
- Visual Studio
are you using?
Also, there is QT_TARGETS_FOLDER [2] which seems to serve the purpose of
your proposed QT_GENERATED_TARGETS_FOLDER.
I have mentioned this also the last time you brought this up:
