Path - what is the difference between :/ and ./

[Carsten Hansen]

E.g. see:
C:\Qt\Examples\Qt-5.4\widgets\desktop\systray\window.cpp

uses
iconComboBox->addItem(QIcon("**:/**images/bad.png"), tr("Bad"));

I know ./ but what does :/ mean?

@Carsten-Hansen ":/" is the root path of the Qt Resource System.

Resource files are built into your .exe, so you don't need to supply the individual files.
