[Qt-interest] Unable to use .rc file for application icon.

[bharath.narayan at nokia.com]

Hi,

It worked. Thanks.

Two quick questions:
1. Will this work on Linux also? (and other platforms) - If no then how do I make it work the same. (I understand that the icons are different in various platforms).
2. Is there any free tool to generated the icons. (the one below is a commercial).

Thanks again,
-Bharath

Hmmm, for me this works.

Seems like your icon file is invalid.

Have a look there:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997636.aspx

and to the tool linked on the first site:

I used this just today to follow your problem and for me it worked 
immediately.

Regards,
Oliver
