[Interest] Qt.conf and desktop application

[Jérôme Godbout]

So how do you specify the Translation and QmlImport path when running locally? I wish I could only add a few lines at the beginning of my C++ but it doesn't seem possible to modify the translation file into a .qrc file. Ok, I guess the qt.conf is only for release overwrite when deploying, but I still have no solution to make this work properly into debug and QtCreator then.

All this seem over complicated for setting a few paths. I don't want to fall into the mess I used to do with a script that set the env and launch the application, this was painful to maintain and no fun at all.

You never use a qt.conf when running locally during development. You only use one for the deployed application package where you bundle the Qt libs.

Your error here is simply due to a missing "Plugins=<path>" entry in the qt.conf. But again, you only do that in the deployed application.
