AppStudio copy and open and embedded resource

appstudio-copy-and-open-resource.qml

// This sample demonstrates how to copy out a resource from your app to your file system.
//
// This AppStudio works around the issue that you cannot give the operating system links
// to resources embedded in your application. To achieve this, we copy the resources out
// which causes their URL to change from a qrc:/ to file:/ URI. After copying, we can
// easily open the file with Qt.openUrlExternally.
