Error when loading QIcon from plugin resource on mac

[NoRulez]

Hi,

i have several plugins where i call a function to retrieve the plugins icon, for example:

QIcon MyPlugin::icon() {
return QIcon(":/images/picture.png");
}

QIcon MyPlugin::icon() {
return QIcon(":/images/picture.png");
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

When i load the plugin in the main application i still get an error:

The funny thing is that it works fine under Linux and Windows.

Could anybody say me what on Mac is going wrong?

Thanks in advance

Which version of Qt are you using?

It could just be a bug in Qt. I ran into one related to loading .ico files in Qt Creator, which was introduced with 4.6 release.

Try a different image format if you can and report it on the qt bug tracker if you can reproduce it in a small test project.
