Question

I wonder how to copy file that is embeded into app qrc into fs? Stuff like

QFile::copy("qrc:/assets/files/my.file" , "C:/my.file");

seems not to work. Why and how to make it to?

Answer 1

You don’t need the qrc, resources start with a :

eg QFile myFile(":/data/data.xml");

PS: I’m not sure how QFile treats case sensitiveness on resource filenames. For best portability you might want to make sure the case matches whatever is in your qrc file.
