    Description

      When adding a new form class to a CMake project, you'll get this dialog box:

      I just talked with a beginner who had apparently checked the "always copy paths" checkbox and then forgot about it, which led to a lot of confusion for them when they started getting linker errors due to the constructor not being defined, since the .cpp file wasn't being included.

      As far as I remember this (adding files to the project file for the user) worked fine with qmake and so it should work with CMake too.
