QPixmap .png in the same project directory

[MFreeM]

Hi there,

I want to create a Qpixmap object with a .png that is in a subfolder within the same project directory without typing in the entire path.I think there is a way to do this. But for the life of me i cant remember.

so instead of typing
@
QPixmap* pixmap = new QPixmap("c:\documents and settings\....\projects\program01\cards\1.png");
@
just type
@
QPixmap* pixmap = new QPixmap("cards\1.png") or something?
@

Any idea?

THANKS!

Why you do not use "The Qt Resource System":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/resources.html ?

You can access the path of your application by calling "applicationDirPath":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qcoreapplication.html#applicationDirPath

If you want the native separator of folders on your system, you have "QDir::separator":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qdir.html#separator

By the way, do you really need a pointer to your QPixmap ?

Otherwise, you still can use the Qt Resource System, as stated above :)

@QPixmap* pixmap = new QPixmap("some.png");@

This is should work. Since you are not using the resource system, you must do one thing :) . Copy the image to build directory.

According to "doc":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpixmap.html#QPixmap-4

bq. If fileName contains a relative path (e.g. the filename only) the relevant file must be found relative to the runtime working directory.
