    Hi
    The path seems wrong
    image://pix/file:///C:/Users/gabor/Pictures/133CANON/IMG_3344.JPG

    Why do you both add the image provider id (pix) and at the same time
    give it a fully qualified path to a file?

    This seems wrong to me ?
    image.source = "image://pix/" + fileDialog.fileUrl

    should it just not be ?
    image.source = fileDialog.fileUrl

      Hi @mrjj ,
      I am trying to use the image provider that's why I used

      image.source = "image://pix/" + fileDialog.fileUrl
      ``
      I am trying to create a pixmap and use QML to save it to localstorage.

        Hi
        Ok, but are you sure the QQuickImageProvider should be involved in the
        saving of the image?
        The syntax "image://pix/" seems for loading only, docs mention nothing about saving.
        Anyway, i was just wondering.

          @SGaist ,
          Yes. According to qDebug the content is

          MakePix requestPixmap id:  "file:///C:/Users/gabor/Pictures/133CANON/IMG_3344.jpg
          ``

          You need to remove file:/// from that URL, otherwise QPixmap won't handle it.

          As others note, however - it seems you don't need an image provider here at all. QML can handle JPG images out of the box.

            It is true, but how can I save the jpg to localstorage?
            Thank you.

              You mean you want to take the jpg from one location and save it in another? Use QFile::copy().

                  @mrjj,
                  The goal is to save the actual jpg into Qt Quick Local Storage. To do that I need to create a Blob from the jpg file. I don't think it is possible to do in QML; that's why I use QQuickImageProvider to send the image from QML to C++ and return a pixmap to QML.
                  If I copy 1.jpg to the qml folder and pass1.jpg to QQuickImageProvider the image is correctly displayed, which means the path I get from fileDialog.fileUrl is incorrect.
                  How can I fix the path so fileDialog.fileUrl provides the right path to the image?
                  Thank you.

                      hi
                      so you get a pixmap back to QML but how do you then convert it to the blob?
                      As far as i understand, Qt Quick Local Storage is a sqllite database so
                      you need it as QbyteArray to save it.

                          Hi
                          sadly i dont know QML well enough to answer that.
                          It seems it get converted to ArrayBuffer if used in signals.
                          from c++ to QML.
                          but im not sure how you can get the pixmap into that.

                            Did you already check Qt Quick Local Storage QML Types ?

                            By the way, why do you want to store images there ?

                              I checked Local Storage QML Types but it doesn't really talk about images.
                              I'm creating a small app where I can store an image and a description of the image. I used to do it by storing only the url, but eventually the images got moved and I ended up with a bunch of broken links.

                                In that case, I would rather go with a more classical approach through C++ especially if you want to recover the images.
