To make sure that all related items are exported to the same item, use top-level layer groups.

To minimize the number of items, minimize the number of layers or use top-level layer groups, because each layer or layer group is exported as a Text or Image item.

To create QML files that are easy to use, prepare the Adobe Photoshop or GIMP designs for exporting, as follows:

PNG images are copied to the images subirectory.

Hidden layers can be exported, and their visibility is set to hidden.

Text layers are converted to Text items, unless you specify that they be converted to Image items.

Offset, size, ordering and opacity are preserved.

Layer styles, such as drop shadows, are converted to images.

Spaces and hash marks (#) are replaced with underscore characters to create valid ids for the items. The following rules apply to the conversions: If you create vector graphics with other tools that have an Adobe Photoshop export option, such as Adobe Illustrator, you can export them first to Photoshop and then to QML. However, you can re-export graphical assets without recreating the QML code. If you edit the file in Adobe Photoshop and export it to the same directory again, any changes you made in Qt Creator are overwritten. Or, you can change the import statement in each file after generating the files. To edit the files in Qt Quick Designer, change the import statements in the export scripts to import Qt Quick 2. By default, the export scripts generate Qt Quick 1 files. You can open the QML file in Qt Creator for editing.

Note: GIMP does not support grouping, and therefore, each layer is exported as an item in GIMP. Top-level layer groups are converted into merged QML Image types. Each scene is converted into a single QML file with an Image or a Text item for each layer and saved on the development PC. You can export designs from graphics software, such as Adobe Photoshop and GIMP, to QML files.
