I don't think kdevelop should be doing this - this is something that the user 
should be setting up. 
 
I know that I want my project to be installed in my live system (even in a 
debug mode), because I know what I am doing with my system. 
 
Other shops have a completely separate test system that they'll install to. 
 
This is really about what happens when we try and _install_ a project. It's 
here that the user should see an appropriate warning (that could be turned off 
btw) as has been suggested in another wishlist item I believe.

IMO we don't need this.
I know the problem that newbes have problems with installing because they don't know how to specify the installation destination, BUT there is good documentation for kdevelop 3 that explains everything (look in KDevelop on the right sitebar the Documentation "QT-Designer 3 and KDevelop 3"). If a user goes though such a tutorial he knows what to do to set the destination path.

So I close this BR as WONTFIX - we can reopen the bug if more users wants this behaviour.

btw: it is possible to open a specified file directly after project generation. We could open a README.devel that contains information about how to set installation destination and other important things. What do you think about that???
