Qt Creator starts up with several error messages saying that:
“Cannot create file /Users/[username]/.config/Nokia/qtcreator.xml: Permission denied”

And when I exit:
“Cannot create file /Users/[username]/.config/Nokia/toolChains.xml: Permission denied”

The program runs fine, but I guess it won’t be able to store any config. Anyone know how to fix this?

    As has been mentioned in the comments, it looks like the Qt installer adds the configuration directories with root as the owner. To fix this, run:

    sudo chown -R `id -un`:staff ~/.config/Nokia/
