Embed icon into UI
-
Hey everyone,
I've created a couple of actions and added icons to them and added the actions to a toolbar. When I load the UI everything works fine. However, when I move the icon files to a different directory, they're no longer displayed in the UI. It seems as though Qt Designer requires that the icons always be in the same directory so it has a reference to them.
How can I sort of embed icons into an UI so that I can move or delete them as I like after I've finished creating the UI?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Take a look at the Qt Resources System

Thanks for your reply. I've just had a look at the link and now I see how relative file paths are handled in Qt.
The situation is as follows: I'd like to create a .ui file with Qt Designer which I can later use as the UI of a Python program. Now, I'm struggling with the creation of the resources file. I've got Qt Designer open now and I can see the actions editor in the bottom right corner and the "resources" tab right next to it. However, if I click on "resources", I can only select an existing resource file but not create a new one.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
