This plugin adds Discord Rich Presence support to Qt Creator, with a decent chunk of recognized file types, and handmade icons for some of the more obscure file types without icons of their own.

You will need a build of Qt Creator complete with the project include .pri files at the root of the build, the source code /src folder, the .pri files inside of the /src folder, and the .lib files inside of /lib/qtcreator/plugins and /bin that correspond to the Qt Creator DLLs stored in the same folders (e.g. Core.lib:Core.dll). If you've installed Qt Creator using the official installer, then you're most likely lacking the /src folder and .pri files, and might or might not have the .lib files depending on whether or not you selected "Qt Creator Plugin Development" as one of the features during the installation process.
You can get a copy of the /src folder and the .pri files by downloading the source code of the Qt Creator version you intend to build this plugin for from the official repository. Copy the /src folder and .pri files from the root of the repository into the root of your existing build.
If you need the .lib files, you can either re-run the installer and select the "Qt Creator Plugin Development" feature, or build the source code of your Qt Creator version.
Qt Creator 6 NOTE: In previous Qt Creator versions, the .lib filenames had the version number as a suffix, e.g. Core5.lib whereas in Qt Creator 6 - at least when using the "Qt Creator Plugin Development" feature to acquire the .lib files - that suffix is omitted, but the .pri files do not account for that omission. Also, the .lib files within the /bin folder are expected to be within the /lib/qtcreator/plugins folder, but they aren't. If you run into this problem when building, rather than renaming everything, I suggest you create a second /lib folder, e.g. /symlib/lib/qtcreator/plugins and then create symlinks to all of the .lib files from both /lib/qtcreator/plugins and /bin inside of /symlib/lib/qtcreator/plugins, including the version number suffix in the filenames for the symlinks. Doing this by hand is obviously quite tedious, but it should not be difficult to automate.
Once you have all of the required files, edit QtCreatorDRPC.pro and ensure that these two variables point to the right locations. Then all that's left is to build the plugin in Qt Creator.
# Qt Plugin Configuration ------------------------------
IDE_SOURCE_TREE = C:/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/ # Ensure that this points to the root of the Qt Creator build containing the
# source code folder (/src) and .pri files.
IDE_BUILD_TREE = C:/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/symlib # Ensure that this points to the root of the Qt Creator build whose
# /lib/qtcreator/plugins folder contains the needed .lib files. If
# using symlinks, point to that folder instead.
