[QGIS-Developer] Creating & loading Qt6 resource files for python plugins

[DelazJ]

Hi Benjamin,
using rcc command (available in qt6-devel in OSGeo4w) should do the trick.
See
https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/plugins/plugins.html#resource-file
or
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66099225/how-can-resources-be-provided-in-pyqt6-which-has-no-pyrcc

Greetings,
Harrissou
