Binary might not work as expected depending on files in application directory. There's a conflict between local files and files within binary program

Hi,

I had a crazy bug when deploying on X11. I thought it was a build problem but it turns out it's the way Qt deals with resources which was involved. I made a video (link at the end) to show out the whole thing and give you a way to reproduce that bug.

But if you want directly the conclusion, here it is :
You're binary might not work depending on what file the user put in the application directory.
if you have let's say a resource file like so :

images

• 0.png
• 1.png

(...)

now let's say the user put your binary in such a folder :
misc

• yourBinary
• some other stuff
• images

1. 0.png
2. 1.png
3. winterHollydays.jpg
4. (..)

Then you're application may not work as expected...
