As a company(Medical) policy, we don't allow readable files on the user PC
in order to protect patient information. This means the information our
application saves and Qt specific files, such as QML files. Our custom QML
files are compiled into libraries with qrc. We do the same do for the QML
files from Qt (Quick.Controls, GraphicalsEffects, ...). But for certain
modules this doesn't work, eg. Quick.Controls2.
Please note that resources are no protection. The files are often compressed
(not always), but they are still available to the application. Any developer
with a modicum of Qt knowledge can intercept the file engine and extract all
files added to the resources of an .exe or .dll.
To me this sounds like a somewhat pointless policy ("no readable files,
data protection!") that is enforced even where it makes less sense than
usual. If so, then Sam's request is simply for the least effort solution
to satisfy that policy.
