KNewStuff3 .knsrc file fails to load under Windows

[Jasem Mutlaq]

Hi,

Ok great. Besides icons, which files can be included in the resources file
and what prefixes to use? Is there documentation for this? We currently
have this:

install(FILES kstars.kcfg DESTINATION ${KDE_INSTALL_KCFGDIR})
install(FILES kstars.knsrc DESTINATION ${KDE_INSTALL_CONFDIR})
install(FILES kstarsui.rc DESTINATION ${KDE_INSTALL_KXMLGUI5DIR}/kstars)
install(FILES fitsviewer.rc DESTINATION ${KDE_INSTALL_KXMLGUI5DIR}/kstars)
install(FILES kstars.notifyrc DESTINATION ${KNOTIFYRC_INSTALL_DIR})


Regards,
Jasem
