Text.RichText <img> error

ndbrownlow

Using Qt 5.12.4. The following code:

import QtQuick 2.13
Text {
    id: text
    anchors.fill: parent
    text: '<img src="myimage.jpg" height="10" width="10">'
    baseUrl: "https://myserver.com/"
    textFormat: Text.RichText
}

generates the following error:

QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.(Parent is QQmlEngine(0x1f1087bc970), parent's thread is QThread(0x1f17e4c1450), current thread is QSGRenderThread(0x1f109cdb4f0)

When the height and width are removed from the <img>, it's fine.

Does anyone know why this error is occurring?

I'll go out on a limb here and say your syntax is wrong. I tackled this sometime ago for a client. I got there eventually.

Your line for 'text';

text: '<img src="myimage.jpg" height="10" width="10">'

Should look like;

text:  `<img src='myimage.jpg' height='10' width='10'>`

The difference is not noticeable immediately, but looking closer, you'll notice that we have to use a backwards tick ( ` ) top open and close our line of text.

Hope this helps. . .

Here's how it looks from my project using a wifi logo image in a line of text;
