Resource editor won't allow me to add files with relative paths

[Perdrix]

I had previously built my resources.qrc by hand in the ui directory of my project.

The resource compiler is quite happy with lines in the rc file that look like:

    <qresource prefix="/stacking">
        <file alias="normalmode.bmp">../res/normalmode.bmp</file>
        <file alias="intersectionmode.bmp">../res/intersectionmode.bmp</file>
        <file alias="mosaicmode.bmp">../res/mosaicmode.bmp</file>
        <file alias="custommode.bmp">../res/custommode.bmp</file>
        <file alias="4corners.png">../res/4Corners.png</file>
        <file alias="DarkColour-16.png">../res/DarkColour-16.png</file>
        <file alias="DarkColour-32.png">../res/DarkColour-32.png</file>

The resource editor OTOH refuses to let me add the files from there insisting that they be in a sub directory of the folder containing the qrc file !!!

That strikes me as a very odd!

Hi,

I might be wrong but it could be that this is currently working because you use aliases.

Can you try to use your resources with the aliases removed ?
