I created a bug report.
I think I put it into the wrong category though: Qt Quick Components.
... was the only one with a reference to Qt Quick..

Anyway: here is the "Bugreport":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCOMPONENTS-275

Qt Quick Components is the official name of Qt-Components. The correct category for your bug is "Qt, component Declarative (QML) ":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG/component/19204

[quote author="fcrochik" date="1291747656"] Any reason not to copy the files to a folder and access them from there? [/quote]
Well, not really. I just like the convenience of the qrc files. You can edit them in the Creator. Then let QtCreator create the .deb package for deployment and that's it. No hassle with manually putting files into the debian folder of the build directory to get the files into place. =)

I agree... I am just concerned that you won't have a solution in a short time frame so you probably need a plan B.

The one side effect of having the qml files on a folder is that you can allow people to "enhance" them ... of course that also means they can break them :)

What I have done in the past was have the application on startup "extract" the files from the resources to a local folder if they didn't exist. This way if any problems happen the user can just delete the files from the local folder and the application will recreate them.

If any of the trolls is watching this thread: How can I move my "Bugreport":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCOMPONENTS-275 into the correct category ("Qt, component Declarative (QML) ":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG/component/19204) ?

You cannot move it yourself, the "edit issue" is disabled for us users. The only possibility I see is leaving a comment and/or creating a new issue in the right place.

The Trolls are pretty good on checking the bug reports and move them as necessary... More important than the group is the assigned resource and once this one sees something that is not his "expertise/responsibility" he will probably reassign.

At least, that has been my experience...

Seems as if the category was already corrected: "Bugreport":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-15934

The bug report was closed, as the reported behaviour has already been fixed with commit 5120dfec47475dd37f51df4dda9a4ef8494036ab . Unfortunately this commit is not part of the maemo5 20.2010.36-2 package.

See comment of Bea Leam in the "Bugreport":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-15934

Unfortunately that has been the issue with qt on maemo5. Because Qt is part of the "system" it can't be updated by itself.

There has been some discussion on maemo.org if distributing Qt will continue being Nokia responsibility or will be managed by the community. I don't know if the discussion went anywhere (or if it will) but it would be great to have the community manage it so we can have updates more often. If not, it may be worth making a little more flexible the rules about creating applications that depends on the qt-experimental packages.
