Hi, I have an application that I would love to modify a Qt resource that is compiled into the executable. I used this script right here to decompress/extract the resource files, but there is no way re-reimport them, this is the script I used.

Is this possible to do with quickbms?

In theory it would be possible to extract and replace the resource from the executable with tools like resource hacker, and then parsing the dumped resource with a quickbms script.

The format looks quite simple, do you have a sample to analyze?

First of all, thank you for responding!

I tried using resource hacker but the file system is embedded.

I'm interested in the themes/DarkTheme.json file

The main problem is locating the archived data in the resources, that's why that lua script is a bit complicated with its searching function.
What I mean is that it's not just a standalone archive.
And since it's in a PE resource it would make it even more complicated to edit it using new files which are bigger messing everything.
