[SOLVED] - Get in trouble with resource file
-
Well, I want add icon at project. I follow " this guide ":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-2.3/creator-writing-program.html to create resource file. We also know folders as Headers, Sources, Resources are only "logical" folder which Qt creator built to manage easily. But really I see file .qrc was placed in Resources, In folder root project, I created 1 folder to store image called "images", so folder "physical" images have level equivalent as folder Resources in tree? If I write content of file .qrc following:
@<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource>
<file>images/icon.png</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>@File .qrc is placed in Resources folder can "see" file .png in folder images?

Maybe I find a little mistake, resource file itself uses a XML format.
First, I think it's so: (rc.txt contain code XML above)

Really, It must have following structure: :)

ps: Author of some books has sense of humor, they describe content of file .qrc while we never have opportunity to see it.

The prefix you use in the resource file can be something else than the folder you use on your hard disk.
Eg. If you have a folder /images, you can use a prefix /img in the resource file.When you use Qt Designer / Qt Creator, you use the add button to browse for image files on your hard drive. I always do it like this. You could try it out and afterwards have a look at the file to see how it works.

@Eddy: Having something I don't understand. I modify prefix following:

I think when I add file icon.png at tree. It only shows file name (icon.png), in fact, it still need name of folder containing it (images/icon.png) ?

The /images/icon.PNG has that extra path info because it is in a subfolder /images.
Have you tried using the icon.png using Qt Creator?
Go to a ui and add a QLabel to it. Then in the properties of that label go to pixmap, click on the button on the right (shows up when you click in inputfield) and a dialog appears which shows your resource system. Click on the icon.png and you should see it in your widget.tip: don't forget to save your qrc file after making changes to it.
