In which situations do you trash those files? I have not had complaints about those files breaking. The exception being going back and forth between stable and unreleased versions of creator. My change should improve this situation a bit by keeping the stable versions .user-file around. So now you can at least copy the old version's file back when heading back to a stable release. > How do you set project dependencies then?

It is not meant to be shared in a team. I have not really looked into the session system yet, so I can not comment on the implementation details. It is very much separate from the .user files. From what I understood so far sessions reference projects (in the QMake case: .pro-files), not .user files. So they should at least not be effected by .user-file trashing to much:-) > to be absolutely useless because those files cannot be used > across platform or even among teams on the same platform.

These changes should be even more important to people trashing their .user files regularly:-) Seriously: There will be more changes to that soon to ease working with device SDKs. > I have to set build settings and project dependencies (where > possible) in the .pro files. Yes, information meant to be shared in a team is better kept in the build system itself. Dependencies can e.g. get encoded by SUBDIRS template in .pro-files (which can then be shared in a team).
