copied!<p>For icons I would just use a resource file, as you did.</p> <p>If you want to store other files inside executable's directory (or children directories) you can prepend the string returned from <a href="http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qcoreapplication.html#applicationDirPath" rel="nofollow"><code>QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath()</code></a>:</p> <pre><code>QString prefix = QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath(); QIcon startIcon(prefix + "/pictures/start.png"); startAction = new QAction(startIcon, tr("&Start/Continue"), this); ... </code></pre> <p>However this does not comply with Linux / Unix filesystem, since the executable will likely be in <code>/usr/bin</code> and you can not really put resources in that directory. You might store resources in some other location (e.g. <code>/usr/share/yourapp</code>) and store that directory in some location in <code>/etc</code> during installation. Then your application gets the resources directory via <a href="http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qsettings.html" rel="nofollow">QSettings</a>.</p> <p>See <a href="http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qsettings.html#locations-where-application-settings-are-stored" rel="nofollow">this note</a> to decide what is the best location for storing that information (you can however read any file with QSettings).</p> <pre><code>QSettings settings(QSettings::SystemScope, QCoreApplication::organizationName(), QCoreApplication::applicationName()); // This points to /etc/xdg/MySoft.conf on Unix. QString prefix = settings.value("resourcesDirectory"); // Inside /etc/xdg/MySoft.conf you have a 'resourcesDirectory' // entry with value '/usr/share/MySoft/resources' ... </code></pre>
