Alternatively, don’t use or convert any qrc files, and use absolute paths to your icons.
I never got the appeal of qrc files; they are not mandatory. With them, you’ll need to recompile whenever you change your graphics, and if you keep your graphics in the same repository as your qrc files you’ve doubled the repository size. Absolute paths can be achieved relative your repository via e.g. os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "resources", "my_icon.png") On Wed, 15 May 2019 at 00:14, Justin Israel <justinisr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Regardless of whether you load a qrc or convert it to python and import > that, the next step would be to actually use the resources.
