    I have tried also to deploy with dlls from plugins/codecs , plugins/imageformats, plugins/iconengines but still I can't see icons
    I can see only when I install full Qt SDK and I deploy to qt/bin directory
    But we understand the end user should not install full Qt SDK so as to use application
    why such a problem?>

      What's the image type of your icons?

              If you do not have installed the imageformat plugins correctly, your application is not able to display them (nor any other jpeg, png or ico image).

              You must maintain the directory hierarchy of the plugins like in the Qt install dir and you might want to add the plugin dir to the library path (use "QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath() ":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qcoreapplication.html#addLibraryPath).

                Yea
                sure
                but the plugins are installed when I install standart Qt SDK from the site ( open source )
                Now I try to include imageformats and iconenginer folders with dlls with my .exe and the dlls when I deploy
                Lets see how it installs

                  Of course you must provide copies of that files in your installation package, as well as the Qt libs.

                    Hello
                    I deployed today with /plugins/imageformats folder
                    It works only when I deploy may application exe, main Qt dlls as I mentioned and imageformats folder on windows
                    Also I looked at Process Monitor output for my application and I see there that my application uses also QtSVG4.dll, QtXML4.dll but I think it is because resources are in xml format...
                    How can I deploy on MacOS, Ubuntu, Symbian , Maemo?
                    Thanks
                    Pavel

                      Yes. Everyone told you exactly this.

                      Read the docs, search the forum and wiki, ask google and come back with actual questions.

                      For OS X: the docs provide sufficient information.

                      For Ubuntu: create a deb.

                      For Symbian, Maemo: have a look at forum nokia and the docs for the respective platform.

                          Hi, I'm sorry to bring up this old topic.
                          I had the same problem and thanks to this thread I've fixed my icons. :)
                          However I need to know if there is a way to determine which plugins EXACTLY does my application require, so i don't have to include all the plugins in my installation package?
                          Thank you in advance!

                            dv879: have you tried to install the pugins one by one until everything works?

                              The project is HUGE and I can not determine if everything works the way you are suggesting. And there should definitely be a more "intelligent" way. :)
                              I wanted to know if there are some kind of dependencies records, where I can check on which plugins depends my program...
