You will need to provide your own
QDataStream& operator<<(QDataStream& ds, const QImage& img)
{
ds << img.height() << img.width() << img.format() << img.data()
}
and
QDataStream& operator>>(QDataStream& ds, QImage& img)
{
int height;
ds >> height;
img.setHeight(height);
...
}
Then you might want to serialize the QByteArray and image format or anything
required to rebuild the image from the data.

I have check in depth the needed data but you get the idea

Subject: [Interest] QDatastream, QMap, QImage serialization
I'm trying to write a GUI utility to provide a simple UI. I'm wanting a
no-frills database of several Qt types, and I'm trying to use QVariantMap for
that. It's going well except that QImages aren't being serialized correctly.
Yes, I know there is a QVariant limitation with "GUI types" (
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qvariant.html#a-note-on-gui-types ) however QImage has an
operator QVariant(). I was expecting to see pixel data get stored in the file,
but it's just being stored as an empty QString. So it seems that QDataStream
can't serialize a QImage? I know that's not true, so it looks like QDataStream
can't serialize a QVariant that is a QImage. I think that's what I'm running
into. I would expect some QByteArray fall-back, but the bytes aren't making it
to disk. It would be ok for me if I had to manually convert the image later
from an opaque byte array, so long as it was written and read properly.
What's the best way to accomplish this serialization?
Many thanks!
