Thanks for the swift response and the great software :)

I see, reading further, the exact 'problem' is described here:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/resources.html#runtime-api
It would have been nice if somehow the QFileInfo.exists() method could be told
to skip the resource indicators.
For instance via a flag to the exists method or via the QFileInfo constructor.
But that is out of scope here.

This is a nice workaround.
Better than what I did (link the file to a fixed name).
