Qt resources not working

[franco.amato]

Hi to all,
I migrated some weeks ago to Qt 5.5 ( from Qt 4.x ) and resources mechanism stopped working ( at least on my machine ).
Looking at the documentation, seems the same as per Qt 4, so I followed the same logic.

In my project structure I have a folder named Images containing some icons that I would add to a toolbar.

Here my simple resources.qrc file:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/MyFiles">
        <file>Images/cut.png</file>
        <file>Images/bringtofront.png</file>
        <file>Images/colors.png</file>
        <file>Images/copy.png</file>
        <file>Images/delete.png</file>
        <file>Images/link.png</file>
        <file>Images/node.png</file>
        <file>Images/paste.png</file>
        <file>Images/sendtoback.png</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/MyFiles">
        <file>Images/cut.png</file>
        <file>Images/bringtofront.png</file>
        <file>Images/colors.png</file>
        <file>Images/copy.png</file>
        <file>Images/delete.png</file>
        <file>Images/link.png</file>
        <file>Images/node.png</file>
        <file>Images/paste.png</file>
        <file>Images/sendtoback.png</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And here the c++ code that does not have any effect

addNodeAction = new QAction(tr("Add &Node"), this);
addNodeAction->setIcon(QIcon(":/MyFiles/Images/node.png"));
addNodeAction->setShortcut(tr("Ctrl+N"));
connect(addNodeAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(addNode()));

addNodeAction = new QAction(tr("Add &Node"), this);
addNodeAction->setIcon(QIcon(":/MyFiles/Images/node.png"));
addNodeAction->setShortcut(tr("Ctrl+N"));
connect(addNodeAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(addNode()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I tried many path combinations, none of them is working:

addNodeAction->setIcon(QIcon(":/Images/node.png"));
addNodeAction->setIcon(QIcon("://MyFiles/Images/node.png"));
addNodeAction->setIcon(QIcon(":/node.png"));

addNodeAction->setIcon(QIcon(":/Images/node.png"));
addNodeAction->setIcon(QIcon("://MyFiles/Images/node.png"));
addNodeAction->setIcon(QIcon(":/node.png"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I hope to get some help

Try to create a QPixmap instance and check if its not null. If so your ressources work.
So check for the plugins, which handle the showing of pictures, like your png's, in qt applications.

Use something like Gammaray to inspect the resource tree in the running application or use QDir starting at :/ to list the resource tree manually.

Cheers,
