Correct qrc resource file path?

Calicoder

Hello fellow QT'ers, wondering if you folks have an suggestions for how to handle this:
I have an app with an app.qrc file as follows:

C:\apps\VisualApp\app.qrc
resources/img/background.png
Resource URL: :/resources/img/background.png

I saved a file background.png under the folder C:\apps\VisualApp\img
How can I add this background.png file in a text file? Is it as simple as using the full filepath C:\apps\VisualApp\img\background.png or can I use the Resource URL somehow?

Thanks again

Hi,

What do you mean by adding that image it to a text file ?

A text file is usually just a bunch of characters.

@SGaist Sorry I meant like a settings file app.ini. If I set up a background key and value, can I use the QRC resource url as the value or is it better to use the full path to the png file?

No problem with using the ressource path. You might want to consider using aliases with your resources.

@SGaist I'll read up on using aliases.

Thank you for the help.
