Usage of Qt resources with CMake

Question number two.
As it turned out, Qt now uses resource-files to store icons/pixmaps etc.
And one of kbattleship ui-forms contains some pixmap labels.
What is the right way to convert it? Should I create a 'qrc' file as described
in porting docs? Then how to tell cmake about its existence?
I need to take some other route? :)
Thanks in advance,
Dmitry.

Well, AFAIK the KDE way was not embedding images in ui files and shipping them
as separate files.

So should I insert corresponding pngs/code?
better contact the maintainer? :)

Btw, is there some common rule to load images into apps? I mean some naming
scheme (like with icons) or some kdelibs classes to use with this task?
it is sufficient to give pngs some meaningful name and use QPixmap's
loading functions? :)

Thanks.
Dmitry.

You should use KIconLoader (e.g. via KGlobal::iconLoader()-or the static functions
in kiconloader.h) to load the icons, so that icon themes work.
For large images you probably want to use UserIcon().

Hmm, are you sure? I meant not icons, but a custom pixmaps. There's no need to
support "icon themes" there :).
Maybe I wasn't very clear. Well, for example, will KTip use KIconLoader to
load the image of a light bulb?

kiconloader's UserIcon can be used for loading custom pixmaps,
but you're right, ktip uses QPixmap(locate("data", "kdeui/pics/ktip-bulb.png")) for
loading the bulb image.

Thanks for pointing that out, as I had difficulties locating ktip source :).
Ah, those newbies ;)

So, is it okay if I'll convert the form to use QPixmap's loading functions
(this seems more logical to me than using KIconLoader)?

Dmitry.

Yes - making sure you use KStandardDirs or its locate() global function
to locate the icon.

And I was searching kdebase for it :).

Wow, David, you answer the questions that I have in my head in advance (like
the "where that locate() comes from?" one) ;).

Thanks!
