Thanks, I think a symlink will work great. I'll just symlink to /usr/share/icons in my main directory.
I'd love to be able to use QIcon.fromTheme but I'm on RHEL 6 it is unavailable. What is weird though is that it is available in Qt 4.6.2 but not PyQt 4.6.2 I thought that PyQt built bindings for whatever the Qt libs had available. Qt: 4.6.2 SIP: 4.9.3 PyQt: 4.6.2 Also, I found that putting a bunch of ../../../../ in front of the path worked too but that is obviously error-prone should your project be deep in a filesystem On Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 12:08 PM, Baz Walter <baz...@ftml.net> wrote: > On 28/06/13 15:45, Eric Frederich wrote: >> >> I'm having trouble working with absolute file paths in my qrc resource >> file with PyQt. >> Am I doing something wrong or is it just something that rcc happens to >> support but not pyrcc4? >> >> Here is my resource file >> >> $ cat resources.qrc >> <!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0"> >> <qresource> >> <file >> alias="filesaveas.png">/usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions/document-save-as.png</file> >> </qresource> >> </RCC> >> >> When I invoke pyrcc4: >> >> $ pyrcc4 -o qrc_resources.py resources.qrc >> Cannot find file: >> /usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions/document-save-as.png >> No resources in resource description. >> >> The file does exist: >> >> $ file /usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions/document-save-as.png >> /usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions/document-save-as.png: PNG >> image data, 32 x 32, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced >> >> Note: rcc works fine with this file: >> >> $ rcc resources.qrc -o resources.rcc >> $ wc -l resources.rcc >> 199 resources.rcc > > > Don't know about rcc, but the Qt docs are pretty clear that relative paths > must be used in qrc files: > > > https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/resources.html#resource-collection-files > > I suppose you could just use a symlink to work around this. > > PS: For standard icons, a possible alternative solution is to use > QIcon.fromTheme (only really useful on Linux, though): > > https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qicon.html#fromTheme > > -- > Regards > Baz Walter > _______________________________________________ > PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com > http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
