I don't even know what PRI's are. If you have some docs explaining them,
I could see what I can do...

Hmm, in what way exactly? From what I've seen so far, they're just
ignored by the qmake manager (or should be). However I haven't looked
into the "logic" stuff too much (i.e. handling include-directives and
such).

I have absolutely no idea, luckily I didn't need to dive too deep into
the non-gui code (yet).

What I did is: for the subproject-view (i.e. where you have the FORMS,
SOURCES, HEADERS and so on) I add the IMAGES variable only for Qt3
projects and the RESOURCES only for Qt4 (I couldn't find IMAGES in qt4
qmake doc and qt3 has no RESOURCES). However the listview is of course
only built once upon project loading, thus when you open a project and
then switch from qt3 to qt4, you won't get the RESOURCES variable until
you reload the project. So what I'd need would be some signal that I
could attach to a slot of the project manager to update the listview.

The manage currently doesn't remove IMAGES from a qt4 project or
RESOURCES from a qt3 project, they should show up as custom variables
(RESOURCES did until I integrated them).
