Qt/C : Icons not showing up when program is run from explorer-CodePudding

I looked at all similar questions, but there everything was decided by the fact that I kind of did it anyway. In general, I added icons in .ico format to some buttons and windows. When I run from QTCreator everything works fine, but even if I run Exe directly from the folder, the icons disappear. I am aware that the dlls should be reported to the folder, I added them using windeploykit. I also reported the icons folder in the same way as I have it in the project. This did not help, only the icon added to RC_ICONS is shown.

Run from QT Creator:

Run from explorer:

I also tried to report qrc and res files (respectively from the project folder and from the compiled build folder), but this did not help

CodePudding user response：

Make sure you added icons to buttons using "Choose resource..." not "Choose File..." in designer (QtCreator).

Try adding qt.conf to executable directory with content:

[Paths]
plugins = .

CodePudding user response：

It could be an encoding related issue. Does your path contain any Russian characters? If it does, I recommend that you change the file path with only English characters.
