Externl images are not visible when running the application
-
I have already searched online and the solution I found did not solve my issue. I have created a QtQuick application and am editing my main.qml file in qml.qrc with Qt Design Studio. The image is visible in the Design tab, but when I run the app, I cannot see it. I have already tried running qmake and since I set it as the build system, this should happen automatically.
Here is a picture of my folder structure
Please let me know what other settings or code snippets you need to narrow down the root of this problem!

How do you reference those images? Hopefully not relative paths since then the location depends on the current working dir. Better use e.g. QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() or put them into a resource file.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I have just added them to my assets and dragged them into the formulary editor. They are in relative paths. Isn't there a way to hard-bake them into the executable? The goal is to ultimately cross-compile this for the Raspberry Pi.

The goal is to ultimately cross-compile this for the Raspberry Pi.This somehow contradicts each other, or?
How should a hard-coded absolute path help? -
No, I meant that the images are part of the executable. Don't know if that is possible at all. Should I use absolute or relative paths now? I'd rather use relative ones, but actually both don't work. It always says it can't find the image, although it is there.

Ah, I deleted the files from the folder and added the assets again. This time it worked. Weird that it didn't last time. Thanks for the help though!
