Hello!
I'm developing a software that uses lots of images (hundreds) that are shown throughout the software as it's used. When it comes to acessing data, I know only two ways of doing it in Qt: using resources files and acessing the files direclty in folders sorrounding the executable. But the problem is that resource files don't allow me to add many images on them (for the time being, when I have something like 500+ images to show, I'm using something like 5 resource files to store them in an organized way) and I want the images to be IN the software, not in folders sorrounding it (let's say I don't want the images to be accessed apart from the software, but only by it).
So is there another way to store this data so only the software is able to find it and that is not by resource files?
I know that there is the SQL database, but as far as I know that would require a server where I would store the files and the software would download them each time it is used, or I could create a storage webpage and use Qt's network methods to download the files, but I don't want to make the software internet-dependent (it must me able to be accesible offline).
Thanks,
Momergil
