Qt eventFilters only work when "all" Qt plugins are selected

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to change the background of a program using eventFilter(). The background change should take place after hovering the mouse over the buttons. But after compiling with Nuitka, this function does not work. I wrote a small example and added a video so that if you want you can reproduce the error.

Exemple link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e9SUbP0nnDTJ6H2_wA_8-l9PGAC1WbhY/view?usp=sharing

Those were the arguments that I used on Windows: nuitka --mingw64 --onefile --plugin-enable=pylint-warnings --plugin-enable=qt-plugins --include-data-file=images\*=images\ --windows-onefile-tempdir main.py

Again I thank the Nuitka project and its quick return, I think I can finish the issue now.

And I don’t quite get, why you needed to replace the slashes in the path. Not having a working URL that is relative to __file__ is a bug, as you require execution inside the dist folder, or inside the python file folder, which is unfriendly.

Apparently the setStyleSheet method only accepts this bar /

But I’m not sure, maybe I’m using it the wrong way
