name.png vs name@2x.png

pAkar

Hi,

Im experimenting with QtQuick/QML and I am running into something that is confusing me. I understand that the @2x images will be loaded automatically on displays with higher density but why the @2x wont load when I explicitly mention the url for the @2x image?

   Image {
        x: 10
        y: 10
        source: "qrc:/C:/path/name.png"
    }
    Image {
        x: 100
        y:100
        source: "qrc:/C:/path/name@2x.png"
    }

Both images will have the same size.
If I rename the @2x image to namebigger.png for example it works fine.

What is happening under the hood exactly here?

Thanks

Edit: @2x images are not even loading on retina display. Are there any steps that I need to take other than making them into a resource?

are you sure the path is correct ? to me it looks wrong
try

source: "file:///C:/path/name.png"
