What is the benefit of using multiple prefixes in qml.qrc file?

[niquedegraaff]

I have a brand new QTQuick project, but changed the directories to this:

/assets/i18n/en_US.ts
/build
/src
 | cpp/main.cpp
 | qml/main.qml
/Program.pro
/qml.qrc

In steps:

1. When adding the prefix /src/qml/ to the qml.qrc file like this

2. And then add a existing file to the qml.qrc file like this

3. QT Creator then does this:

Now is my question, why in the hell would I add a prefix, iif any files added to that prefix also has to contain the prefix. This makes not sense ?

@niquedegraaff can you open your qml.qrc file in an text editor and take a look at it?
And try with and without prefix.
