setBaseUrl() problem

[ugluk]

My directory tree is like this:

root
  assets
  content
  skins
    default
  test
    main.cpp

root
  assets
  content
  skins
    default
  test
    main.cpp

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

// I do this in test/main.cpp:
  view.engine()->setBaseUrl(QUrl::fromLocalFile(
    QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/../"));
 
// I do this to a QQuickView instance:
setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("skins/default/main.qml"));

// I do this in test/main.cpp:
  view.engine()->setBaseUrl(QUrl::fromLocalFile(
    QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/../"));

// I do this to a QQuickView instance:
setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("skins/default/main.qml"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

main.qml loads OK, but cannot reference assets in the assets subdirectory as, "assets/someimage.png", but needs to do "../../assets/someimage.png", also I cannot import as 'import "content"', but need to do 'import "../../content"', whereas I'd like to do 'import "content"'. Does there exist a workaround?
