Images and Qrc files

When you open a project the first page is the images page.
Here you can manage your qrc files along with its containing prefixes and images.

On new projects you may notice that a .qrc file named “resources.qrc” is already present with a prefix named “Icons” and your selected application icon “logo.ico”.
You can rename qrc files, prefixes and images by right clicking on them and selecting rename.
