Ah, yes. A couple of observations inline.

So, I presume that I cannot "localize" the default templates as they will be replaced on a new make install?

Ah, yes but..
There are more than one of us here. Custom templates would suit us better if they were stored in a shared directory. Is there any chance of this in the (near) future? If not I will see if I can hack our local IDE to suit.

I am with others commenting in this thread - we must have a QT4 template as that is what we expect our clients to be using. We have had a look at the QT5 option and like others have said it lacks a few things that are in QT4 that we have used fairly extensively across our products, so at the moment defaulting to QT5 will generate lots of headaches if Mr Client X installs QT5.
