I guess qrc is actually better. Otherwise app1 might start depending on icon installed by app2 (without really noticing). And this simplifies deployment (and speeds up lookup). What I don't know however is whether artists consider that these icons should be themeable... BTW did you look into the xdg icon spec? I guess it's not there? On the other hand it doesn't prevent doing it since it's not about sharing icons; it's just harder to convince Qt to look there :) (I think qiconengine and kiconengine should stay compatible, so that we can even consider switching to qiconengine one day). -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE Frameworks 5 _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
