[Interest] Loading files from qrc, path or URL ?

[Frank Mertens]

Hi Nicholas,

that is right. Sometimes you need a resource path and sometimes an URI.
You can for instance open a file from your bundled resources with QFile, which requires a path as QString. But a QQuickView::setSource() expects a QUrl.

Best regards,
Frank
