    No it means that Creator, the Qt IDE / Editor cannot be build as a static
    Qt application as it really needs to use dynamic loading.

    You can however create a new Image Plugin and static link with your application.
    But you cannot mix statically compiled Qt App and then use plugins dynamically.

    So you cannot have static Qt app and dynamic loading plugins.
    Meaning your STATIC linked App cannot at runtime load extra plugins.
    BUt you are free to link new ones in and that way support new formats.

    Can I ask what image format you want to add?

    Also if dynamic loading is important, why use static linking ?

    Thank you mrjj and LuGRU,
    It seems the static liking to Plugin is the way to go. Dynamic loading is not important.
    For now, I would like to support RAF CRW image formats.
    And enventually I need to support pcx, pnm, psd, rgb, eps and NEF formats.

      Hi
      PSD itself is pretty hardcore. Maybe this can provide starting point

                @samdol said in Image plugin:

                CRW

                Nope, never saw such plugin. For some camera vendors you have to use the SDK to read it.

                Alternatively, you can use a lib
                http://www.libraw.org/
                and use to convert to format that you can
                load or embed into Qt app so it can load native.

                  Thank you for the link.
                  Is the libraw OK to be used on commercial project?
                  Do I have to buy the license to use in commercial project?

                    See the licensing options for libraw here. If you adhere to the terms of one of these licenses you can probably use it in a commercial project.

                      From the link, it seems we need to know
                      width, height ,QImage::Format about the raw image file before read it.
                      Could we know those information before read it?

                        Not really. That is why raw means many things.
                        One can guess about it if knowing color format/depth and the filesize but
                        ultimately it could be anything.

                        For Cameras the raw format means uncompressed. Each vendor might save raw differently and hence
                        its not easy to "just" read raw files.

                          when tried the code in the link with some raw files (NiKON NEF, ..) I could only see unrecognizable dots on the screen. Is it because I did not put the right w, h and format?

                            Yes if you specify wrong parameters for the format it will look distorted.

                              I saw some image Viewer shows raw image file. I wonder how it could read raw image. Because in order to read it correctly, we need to know the w, h, format in advance and there is no way to know w,h, format.

                                Well most of the viewers use a library and hence knows vendor raw format and can guess
                                at format otherwise. Many raw formats do have a header to give more info.
                                So for camera raw means uncompressed and non filtered and not so much raw block of image data as it
                                means in other contexts.
