<![CDATA[Image resource, showing in Qt Creator but not at runtime.]]>I have an image resource which has the alias ICN_CONNTD the image is a png file and is 64x64. In the source I have:

mppmConnected = new Pixmap(":/ICN_CONNTD");

If I hover the mouse of the above line the image is displayed in a hovering context display. When I debug in Qt Creator and stop at the above line then step over it, mppmConnected is returned as (0x0) and highlighted as red.

Why isn't this working? I have use exactly the same method in another project and that works fine.

commsTester.qrc:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/">
        <file alias="ICN_CONNTD">../res/conntd.png</file>
        <file alias="ICN_DISCONTD">../res/discontd.png</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>
