      Well if inside the app you must escape

      c:\\xxx\\cyy\\
      

      But that is not valid if from text file so just asking to try to guess reason that is not shown :)

        QFile::exists() gives false when i use a full path for the image (like, C:\Users\user\image.png). but the file sure exists. i've tried using \\ instead of \, also / but not much success. with resource system, however, everything is okay

          if you take one of the paths from the file
          and start paintbrush, select file->open
          and paste the path into the filename area. and then press open.
          will it then open ?

          it sounds really, really wrong if QFile::exists() says false.

            yes it opens.

            this is weird, really.
            this works:

            QFileInfo file("C:\Users\user\image.png");
            setIcon(file.filePath());
            

            but when i get the SAME line from a file and set the icon to it... it doesn't work

              Hi
              Did you try to qDebug() << file.filePath();
              to see if anything still 100% like the one in file?

                  Really cannot guess then.
                  If path in text file truely are valid syntax, it should just work.
                  and you are 100% sure you escape it ?
                  ( which is needed when inside the code, but from text file)

                  setIcon("C:\\Users\\user\\image.png");

                      I have done it many times so I do
                      wonder what you do that is
                      different or if it really just is a path issue.

                          Hi,

                          Since you are using Qt, why not use the Unix notation ? Qt handles the conversion when it calls the related platform specific functions.

                          So it should be C:/Users/user/image.png

                              Does that file have any permission issues ?
                              Are you 100% sure that it's there ?
                              Are you loading it from your own user account ?
                              Any special char in the path ? i.e is user really the account name ?
