[SOLVED] Icons are not visible when i run the application.

Leon

I have created the Qt resource file, and added some icons (jpg,png) to it and saved it
In the designer, i have added a pushbutton, and changed it's icon to one from the resources files

But when i run the application no icons appear...
edit: Qt 5.02 on windows 8

For jpg, you need the appropriate imageformat plugin to be present. Otherwise: check your paths. Are you sure that in your application the images come from the resources, and not from the file system?

i got the same problem on jpg and png.

The pictures are located at
Project folder/Pictures/Subfolder
I have added a new resource file via right click on project->add new
After that i created the pushbutton and changed the icon

In other words i can see the icon when i am on the designer but when i execute it i don't

andre

What path are you using to load the icons?

That's what i am trying to tell you this whole time :D
I am using the designer to set the icons

The solution is find and put the folder "imageformats" in the same folder of the app .

or in the system32 folder, and add these lines in main.cpp.
@

ifdef Q_OS_WIN32

QString env = getenv ("SYSTEMROOT");
#endif

ifdef Q_OS_WIN32

QCoreApplication :: addLibraryPath (env + "\ system32");

endif@

That should not be needed for .png files. PNG support is build in, and does not rely on plugins.

Must have something to do with Windows.
I am using icons this way 2 years on Qt for Ubuntu...

Try cleaning the project and running qmake again.Had the same problem a few days ago and it seems that changes to the ressource files were being ignored.

Windows sucks balls!

Thank you it worked ;)

andre

In this case more likely it is qmake and the makefiles it generates that screw up...

Glad it worked for you Leon.
