how to set the the path of images in qml file if the qml file is in resource ?
as we know , when the qml file is not in the resource file , we can set the path of images by relative path “relative to exe path” , or absoulte path , while when we want to hide the qml files and put them into resource file , if we still use the old way , it will try to find them
from resource file , and failed to find them . I searched it on line , people suggested use “file:///home/xx.png” to set the absolute path of images , this way works on linux , while I set it on windows like “file:///C:/test/xx.png” , it couldn’t find it , but if I run this in run edit on windows , it can find the image . How could I solve this problem ? if I want to set the relative path not using file:/// ,what should I do ?thanks for your help .

Please read the following thread [developer.qt.nokia.com] because I believe it discuss the same issue.
hi. in qml you can display images with relative path so.
X = image.png (or other extention)
let’s see this example:
1) our .qml is in C:\user\nomeutente\progetto\cartellaprogetto\qml\main.qml .
our X is in C:\user\nomeutente\progetto\cartellaprogetto\image\image.png
here you write in main.qml
- //main.qml
- import QtQuick 1.0
- Rectangle {
- width: 100; height: 100
- Image {
- source: "../image/image.png" /*where "../" indicates that the last part of the current directory is trunced, so we have C:\user\nomeutente\progetto\cartellaprogetto and then we append /image/image.png, so the absolute path is C:\user\nomeutente\progetto\cartellaprogetto/image/image.png. note that you must use "/" as separator! */
- }
- }

sorry , I am afraid you guys misunderstand this question , if qml files is not embeded in the qrc files ,
there is no problem referring the qml files and images file with relative or absolute path , but if we embeded the qml files into the qrc files , while the images files is not embeded in the qrc files , like
qml refering using “qrc:/qml/myqml.qml” , images using “images/hello.png”, and images folder is under exe folder , it can’t find the image files .why I want to do it in this way , because I want to hide the qml files when I release my software , while I exposed the images files , because I want to provide skin options , customers can download new images from our website and replace the old image files , how can I solve this problem ?

Also you can build this and use imagePath hack in Qt Creator and QmlViewer – https://github.com/misterion/QmlViewerDevHelper
