I'm having trouble working with absolute file paths in my qrc resource
file with PyQt.
Am I doing something wrong or is it just something that rcc happens to
support but not pyrcc4?
Here is my resource file
$ cat resources.qrc
<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource>
<file
alias="filesaveas.png">/usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions/document-save-as.png</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
When I invoke pyrcc4:
$ pyrcc4 -o qrc_resources.py resources.qrc
Cannot find file:
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions/document-save-as.png
No resources in resource description.
The file does exist:
$ file /usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions/document-save-as.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions/document-save-as.png: PNG
image data, 32 x 32, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
Note: rcc works fine with this file:
$ rcc resources.qrc -o resources.rcc
$ wc -l resources.rcc
199 resources.rcc
Don't know about rcc, but the Qt docs are pretty clear that relative
paths must be used in qrc files:
https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/resources.html#resource-collection-files
I suppose you could just use a symlink to work around this.
PS: For standard icons, a possible alternative solution is to use
QIcon.fromTheme (only really useful on Linux, though):
https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qicon.html#fromTheme
