    Hey

    New to this. Say I just finished my app. I have brand new shiny .exe file with meh icon.. I'd like to set that file icon, version, author, credits, etc etc... does Qt have a workflow for it or I have to go in to wild and figure out by myself using c++ msvc libs/etc/etc?

    TIA

      For the app icon take a look here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/appicon.html
      For the rest you have to create your own rc file and add it as described in the link above.

        Yeah I saw it prior. But will that also set the file icon too or just the one in open widget top left corner? I assumed its just widget icon and not windows file icon.
        What about file/application version/author/etc? I have set

            app->setApplicationVersion("10");
            app->setOrganizationName("balablabal");
        

        But when I right click app >Properties>details>its all mostly empty there.
        ?

          When you read the link you will find the answer.
