    @SPlatten there is no magic to it.

    right click on the sources in QtCreator -> copy path -> use as source in Image component

    more important questions:

    • Does your SVG follow "tiny 1.2" specifications?
    • For what platform was it? IIRC for iOS there was no SVG support and it may not be the only one

      [Edit] When Copy Path or Copy URL ?

      I did write path, didn't I?
      The one starting with :


      I see no baseProfile="tiny" in your xml code, so, it will probably not work

      Q: What's that?
      A: It's blue light.
      Q: What does it do?
      A: It turns blue.

          @SPlatten soooo
          first of, I would like to apologise, copy url is actually the correct one :D

          secondly, do use a "tiny" svg it will work:

          //main.qml
          import QtQuick 2.15
          import QtQuick.Controls 2.15
          import QtQuick.Window 2.15
          import QtQuick.Layouts 1.15
          
          Window {
              id: root
              width: 800
              height: 600
              visible: true
          
              Image{
                  id:img
                  anchors.fill: parent
                  source: "qrc:/SomeAliasedSVG.svg"
              }
          }
          
          rsc.qrc
          <RCC>
              <qresource prefix="/">
                  <file>main.qml</file>
                  <file alias="SomeAliasedSVG.svg">01_01.svg</file>
              </qresource>
          </RCC>
          
          //svg file
          <?xml version="1.0"?>
          <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.2" baseProfile="tiny"
               viewBox="0 0 30 30">
            <desc>Example SVG file</desc>
            <rect x="10" y="10" width="10" height="10" fill="red"/>
          </svg>
          
          

          works exactly as expected:

              @SPlatten 🤷‍♂️

              can you make a minimal compile able example for us ?

                  @SPlatten it's not really compile able, is it ?
                  I don't have your *pro, nor your main.cpp file, nor the folder structure you claim to have.

                  also giving your Image a width and height does help, because its super tiny without it

                      @SPlatten said in Adding SVG to resource with alias and referencing in QML:

                      Are they ?

                      They are relevant to have a compilable example...

                                @SPlatten Yes. You can drop qrc: and alias + root / is good enough.

                                        @SPlatten I see. All of my images have alias. Therefore, no qrc: is needed anywhere. It is good you drop it as well without alias.
                                        I still use qrc for qml files since they do not have alias
                                        resources/qml/main.qml: source: "qrc:/qml/MainScreen.qml"
                                        resources/qml/main.qml: source: "qrc:/qml/SplashScreen.qml"
                                        I will try to remove it and let you know.

                                        Confirmed: qrc is not needed even when resource files do not have alias. qrc: can be dropped completely.
                                        But not sure why Qt did this. The code with or without qrc: should compile
                                        In Qt6 qml module version numbers are dropped. I am using Qt 5.15.2.
