Can't load/save JPG image in Qt

I can't load/save jpg image in Qt. I checked the imageformat folder in plugins folder and I found the dll/lib files related to this extension.

Here's the code I'm using:

void loadImages(){

    QImage image;
    QString folderName = "C:\\img-src\\";
    bool isLoaded;
    for(int i=1;i<3;i++){
        QString fileName = folderName + QString::number(i) + ".jpg";
        isLoaded = image.load(fileName,"JPG");
        if(isLoaded){
            qDebug() << "loaded";
        }else{
            qDebug() << "not loaded";
        }

        //Rest of the code

        }



}
Solution

  • I found what the problem was. I have to copy the imageformats folder next to the exe file of the program to enable loading/saving jpg files.
