How to read file from QRC?

[Dariusz]

Hey

Bit annoying but I have this in QRC:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/">
        <file>data.glsl</file>
    </qresource>

    <qresource prefix="/openGL/">
        <file alias="testX">file/test.glsl</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

And I wish to load it as :

QString path = "/openGL/testX"
loadShader(path);
....
void loadShader(QString filePath){
    QFile v(filePath);
    v.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
    qDebug() << v.readAll();
    if (!mShader->addShaderFromSourceFile(QOpenGLShader::Vertex, v.readAll())) {

This seems to not work...
device not open bla bla bla...

What to do ?

TIA

Hi
When having files in a resource file, the syntax for its paths is
":/xxx" . note the start :
Anyway, find the file in the project explorer tree and right click the file.
You can then copy the complete path to use.

Hey

Thanks for info!

I had another deep look at what I was doing... I forgot to add ":" !

"/openGL/testX"
to
":/openGL/testX"

Blindness...

Hi
Thats why i often use the copy trick :)
ctrl+k type some of the name, press enter, right click and copy
Almost as fast as writing it when i have nested folders.
