You can use alias in the qrc file to have all the files in a single directory so that you can use them directly or else you can import the qml stuffs by using import statement (make sure you give the correct path of the file)

try to create a qmldir file, but it did not work

look for the error but I found nothing that serves me. I do not know if it has to do with the fact that I'm not using a qrc file.

in the ".pro" file, add a line to copy and paste the "qml" folder into the compiled directory. that's because I want the code jv and qml can be edited with any editor in the final version

#Copia la carpeta "qml" dentro de la carpeta build copydata.commands = $(COPY_DIR) $$PWD/qml $$OUT_PWD first.depends = $(first) copydata export(first.depends) export(copydata.commands) QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += first copydata

@jpnurmi Great, thanks for your help!

@Jason-Wright said in Can't import QML component using QRC:

which then causes a lookup of Navigation.qml (and yeah, I did still have to give it an alias in the .qrc file, for some reason...)
Not sure why I had to do this from my reading of the documentation, but it's at least a workable solution.

Seems like QML only resolves components only with .qml extension.

Your solution wokrs because import "./components" as Components imports the whole folder 'navigation'. Then you use the component Components.Navigation, which then is loaded by the engine as Navigation.qml.

@VRonin Thanks!

Thanks J-P, that's exactly what I needed to know! I think I found an old example online that used the 1.x approach to styling, then tried to combine that with 2.x controls - and got myself in a tangle. I now understand how styling is meant to be applied in 2.x, and it's working just fine for me.

It's not just "yet another app" to learn. It's the current defacto version control system used by Qt, KDE, the linux kernel and many more projects.

Even if you're the only developer, that's something you really want to learn to use.

Good news! My use case is actually well covered by simply using a regular .import "thing.js" as Thing. I don't need the specific namespace-less behavior of Qt.include; I just happened to miss .import when reading the doc, thus failing to understand that Qt.include is only a second import mechanism to be used instead of .import under very specific (documented) circumstances.

→ Doc might still deserve clarification of the async behavior, but my initial problem is gone with using .import. I updated the QTBUG

@MarkoSan Following are the 2 ways to do it correctly,

If loading main.qml from resource (i.e qrc)
for eg. engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
You will need to add the complete path so that the main.qml file in qrc is able to find it. For eg.

import "file:///home/someusername/gui/delegates" //import using complete path UePeopleItemDelegate { //using the loaded Component }

If loading main.qml directly i.e from some local path
for eg. engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("main.qml"))). Note no qrc
Here you can use the relative path in main.qml

import "./gui/delegates" //import using relative path UePeopleItemDelegate { //using the loaded Component }

Assuming the directory gui is present in same location that of main.qml as we have used "."

ahh okay thank you ^^
