You may use QDir::absoluteFilePath [qt-project.org] to check where the file should be.

Hello
Maybe I miss something, but loadFromData method is used, when you have your picture loaded into memory. Try to use QPixmap::load [qt-project.org] method

Tried using the load function and that doesn’t seem to be solving my problem either:

QPixamp has a constructor taking a QString with the pathname:

For your path problem. Make a QFile of the path an check if that absolute path exists:

Yes, the file path exists. Tried to run the same code with using the file name in the constructor and it still doesn’t work. Is there some flag I should be setting in the .load() call?

Hello
It sounds silly, but try to use “./folder/pic.png” or “/folder/pic.png” instead of “folder/pic.png”.

Did you try with an full, absolute path in the constructor? Just to make sure, it’s not a “file not found” issue.

If that doesn’t work either, check if the imageformats support PNG. Add in your main method:

This should list PNG, amongst others.

Figured out that my problem was the folder was in the wrong folder for the code to recognize it. In any case I’m now having the problem where the image wont draw via a qpainter.drawPixmap() function. Going to start a new thread
