\title Using \QMLD
We recommend that you use a separate visual editor,
\l{Qt Design Studio Manual}{\QDS} to open and edit
\l{UI Files}{UI files} (.ui.qml).
However, you can enable the \QMLD plugin in \QC for editing
UI files. The functionality is restricted and not all \QDS
features are supported.
To use \QMLD, switch to the \uicontrol Design mode when a ui.qml or or .qml
file is open.
For more information about using \QMLD, see \l{Qt Design Studio Manual}.
\section1 Enabling the \QMLD Plugin
To enable the \QMLD plugin:
\list 1
\li Select \uicontrol Help > \uicontrol {About Plugins} >
\uicontrol {Qt Quick} > \uicontrol {QmlDesigner}.
\li Select \uicontrol {Restart Now} to restart \QC and load the plugin.
