Hey,

I took your code and pasted it in a brand new QtCreator project and it works...

I would suggest you double check your image's pathes !

Your first item has an image's path that should be ":/temp/boat.png"... And you have to make sure that your image is clearly defined in your ressource file. I would therefore suggest you to test with image at the root of C: -> "C://mypic.png".

If you want to use a ressource file, then here is an example :

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="images_section">
        <file alias="MyBoatImage">boat.png</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

This has to be written in a file called ressource.qrc and be carefully specified in your .PRO file :

RESOURCES += ressource.qrc

Then an example of use in the code : ":/images_section/MyBoatImage"
