QtCreator欢迎界面示例为空问题

QtCreator内部加载examples是这样子的：

1.先找Qt Doc目录（可以使用qmake -query QT_INSTALL_DOCS命令查看相关路径），然后从它的每个子目录下查找'examples-manifest.xml'和'demos-manifest.xml'文件。

2.找到了之后，以qt gui 的'Analog Clock Window Example'为例，比如Qt Doc是在/usr/share/qt5/doc下，那么该示例就在/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtgui/examples-manifest.xml文件中记录着，如：

<example name="Analog Clock Window Example" docUrl="qthelp://org.qt-project.qtgui.5113/qtgui/qtgui-analogclock-example.html" projectPath="gui/analogclock/analogclock.pro" imageUrl="qthelp://org.qt-project.qtgui.5113/qtgui/images/analogclock-window-example.png" isHighlighted="true">
            <description><![CDATA[The Analog Clock Window example shows how to draw the contents of a custom window.]]></description>            <tags>analog,android,clock,gui,ios,window</tags>
            <fileToOpen mainFile="true">gui/analogclock/main.cpp</fileToOpen>
        </example>

3.然后还要去验证该示例的对应值' projectPath'、'imageUrl'和'docUrl'是否有效，注意projectPath是指相对于example/demo本身的路径，可以使用qmake -query QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES和qmake -query QT_INSTALL_DEMOS查看具体示例所在路径，我这边这两个是一样的，好像没什么区别。而imageUrl和docUrl则是相对于doc路径，比如该示例绝对路径分别为/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtgui/images/analogclock-window-example.png和/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtgui/qtgui-analogclock-example.html。

4.这样的话如果QtCreator不显示示例，可以去看看Qt Doc目录是否为空，还有使用qmake -query QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES看下示例具体的目录是否为空，如果为空那显示不出来就正常。

5.QtCreator源码src/plugins/qtsupport/exampleslistmodel.cpp中有使用到环境变量'QTC_DEBUG_EXAMPLESMODEL'来调试examples加载过程：

static bool debugExamples()
{   
    static bool isDebugging = qEnvironmentVariableIsSet("QTC_DEBUG_EXAMPLESMODEL");
    return isDebugging;
}
......
// read extra example sets settings
QSettings *settings = Core::ICore::settings();
const QStringList list = settings->value("Help/InstalledExamples", QStringList()).toStringList();
if (debugExamples())
     qWarning() << "Reading Help/InstalledExamples from settings:" << list; 

会去QtCreator.ini配置文件中查看'Help/InstalledExamples'对应example值，当然一般是没有的，因为我就没有看到。不过可以考虑把自定义的example放到这里去在QtCreator中显示。这个变量主要是调试输出使用的，比如qtcreator启动时输出：
