      Hey

      New to this. Say I just finished my app. I have brand new shiny .exe file with meh icon.. I'd like to set that file icon, version, author, credits, etc etc... does Qt have a workflow for it or I have to go in to wild and figure out by myself using c++ msvc libs/etc/etc?

      TIA

        For the app icon take a look here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/appicon.html
        For the rest you have to create your own rc file and add it as described in the link above.

        Qt has to stay free or it will die.

          Yeah I saw it prior. But will that also set the file icon too or just the one in open widget top left corner? I assumed its just widget icon and not windows file icon.
          What about file/application version/author/etc? I have set

              app->setApplicationVersion("10");
              app->setOrganizationName("balablabal");
          

          But when I right click app >Properties>details>its all mostly empty there.
          ?

            When you read the link you will find the answer.

            I already answered this:
