Will symbol links in a Qt resource file consume extra space? -

I have an image file that has been named image-generic.png and for One symbol link is image-generic-x.png , both of them are included in a QT resource file.

Now if I compile the program, the image-generic page will consume some space, but will the image-generic-x.png be anything like this? Does the QT resource file have a symbol symbol?

I was unable to find anything in the document about it.

Compile your program without and without the symbolic link file and compare the executable size. It will tell you that the resource has been included twice or if the resource compiler is quite sensible that this resource actually refers to the same file.
