Qt Creator give the possibility to attach some resource to the project. I created in the project directory a folder called: Images. inside i have the file splash1.jpg
I created then the Resources file and attached the file as shown in the following figure:
Which is now the correct way to access from code such a file? I tryed
QPixmap pixmap( "Images/splash1.jpg" );
QPixmap pixmap( "./Images/splash1.jpg" );
but none of them worked.
if i put just ./Images/splash1.jpg work at least if i compile by hand with qmake and make because has the correct path at runtime but no way to make it work within qt creator
Any idea??

The Qt resource system is a platform-independent mechanism for shipping resource files in an application. Use it if your application always needs a certain set of files (like icons, translation files, images), and you don't want to use system-specific means to package and locate these resources.
The Qt Resource System is a mechanism for storing binary files in an application. The files will be embedded into the application and be acessible for the QFile class and the constructors of the QIcon and QPixmap classes taking a file name by using a special file name starting with :/ .
Click the Edit Resources button (first on the left) Click the New Resource File button (first on the left) Enter a file name (e.g. resources. qrc) and click Save.
Qt5 resources explains all you need. You have to put the colon before the path in the source tree. You also have placed a prefix, so :/Images/Images/splash1.jpg. This will give you a path.
If you need a URL, then use the qrc: scheme.
