This plugin adds Discord Rich Presence support to Qt Creator, with a decent chunk of recognized file types, and handmade icons for some of the more obscure file types without icons of their own.

Download the plugin archive from the release page and follow the installation tutorial provided in Qt Documentation
To use the plugin with different versions of Qt Creator, you need to generate a new build by specifying the target Qt Creator version and the corresponding Qt version in the build process. Modify the variables ${qt_dir} and ${qtc_dir} in the CMakeLists.txt. Alternatively, you can adjust the ENV variables in the Github Action Workflow to match the desired Qt and Qt Creator versions.
Create a build directory and run
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<path_to_qt_framework>;<path_to_qtcreator> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo <path_to_plugin_source>
cmake --build .where <path_to_qtcreator> is the relative or absolute path to a Qt Creator build directory, or to a
combined binary and development package (Windows / Linux), or to the Qt Creator.app/Contents/Resources/
directory of a combined binary and development package (macOS), and <path_to_plugin_source> is the
relative or absolute path to this plugin directory.
Run a compatible Qt Creator with the additional command line argument -pluginpath <path_to_plugin>
where <path_to_plugin> is the path to the resulting plugin library in the build directory
(<plugin_build>/lib/qtcreator/plugins on Windows and Linux,
<plugin_build>/Qt Creator.app/Contents/PlugIns on macOS).
You might want to add -temporarycleansettings (or -tcs) to ensure that the opened Qt Creator
instance cannot mess with your user-global Qt Creator settings.
When building and running the plugin from Qt Creator, you can use -pluginpath "%{buildDir}/lib/qtcreator/plugins" -tcs
on Windows and Linux, or -pluginpath "%{buildDir}/Qt Creator.app/Contents/PlugIns" -tcs
for the Command line arguments field in the run settings.
