Testing and debugging Dolphin/KIO plugin with Qt Creator

1. Build as usual, ensure NO_FILE_ITEM_ACTION_PLUGIN is turned off
2. Copy *.desktop file to ~/.local/share/kservices5 and enable it in Dolphin if packaged version is not already installed
3. Add new config for run in Qt Creator and set dolphin as executable
4. In execution environment, set

• QT_PLUGIN_PATH to directory containing plugin \*.so-file
• QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS to 1 for verbose plugin detection
• QT_XCB_NO_GRAB_SERVER to 1 to prevent grabbing so the debugger is usable

5. Ignore warning that executable is no debug build, it is sufficiant when plugin is debug build
