    @mrjj sorry, I think I didn't explain myself well.
    My goal is set setRootIndex with the path of a folder which is included in my project.
    So, I included the folder using Qt Resource System, and when I use it in
    model->index("path")
    and I build the project, compilation does not end.

    QPixmap pixmapWheelX (":/qres/icons/wheel.png") was an example to explain another point where I use Qt Resource System -and this works.

      Hi
      So when you say "included in my project.", you mean its added to a resource file that is compiled into the project ?

      and if you then use this resource file for the model, it will then compile for ever ??

          @giusirux

          Hi
          I tried to reproduce this by
          1: add a sub folder to the project folder
          2: add this folder to a resource file (included in the project)
          3: use QFileSystemModel with this sub folder
          however, nothing bad happened.
          (it just compiled)

          SO did I miss a step ?

          What Qt version are you using ?

              @giusirux Not the version which QtCreator was build with, we need the version of Qt you're compiling your apps with.

                  ok, the Build problem is solved, but the path is not correct when the application runs.
                  The folder, which I included in the project, has three subfolders.
                  So, after I added the folder to a resource file, I copied and pasted the path in setRootPath and setRootIndex, but the folder which I see when the application runs is "C:"
                  Any suggestions?

                    Hi,

                    AFAIK, qrc files shall contain a list of file paths. Putting a folder in there will not recursively add the files and subfolders in there.

                      @SGaist hi
                      oh, ok... I didn't know it. So, how can i get this TreeView including the folder "Utils" in the project?

                      P.S. these are Utils' subfolders
