[Qt-creator] [Interest] QML dir hierarchy

[Nuno Santos]

Keep your qml resources inside folders

/
/resources
/resources/icons
/resources/images
/resources/qml
/resources/fonts

create a .qrc file on the .pro dir or inside resources.

Open .qrc with editor and choose to add existing files. Select the files inside the dirs (icons, images, qml, fonts). 

The files will automatically be added with the respective paths as prefix.
