Getting Icon fails on windows when blender is executed from command line about bqt

[bob-white]

So bqt.py is designed to be run as a startup script. Not sure how the execution model differs when run directly like that.

I also get an error, but related to operators registration not the icon code:

found bundled python: e:\Blender\2.80\python
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "e:\Blender\bqt.py", line 408, in <module>
    unregister()
  File "e:\Blender\bqt.py", line 381, in unregister
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(QOperator)
RuntimeError: unregister_class(...):, missing bl_rna attribute from 'RNAMeta' instance (may not be registered)

@bob-white well the block that calls unregister only runs if you execute the script from the cli to start blender, so i feel it is just running too early

[bob-white]

You are correct, if I remove that block I no longer get the error.
Also, I still don't get the error that you are.
I tried this both in an admin console, and a non-elevated console so I don't believe this is a permissions issue.

I don't get the IndexError. But the Blender frame is without an icon.

[bob-white]

So poking around with this, it appears loading the bytes from GetBitmapBits into a QImage or QPixmap just doesn't work. It will work with a PIL.Image though. So its probably some kind of formatting thing.

[cmcpasserby]

likely just something simple like needing to go into a QByteArray first instead of a python list.
though i think we can kill off the code for finding the process. since bpy.app.binary_path will just give you the blender exe directly

[JeffHanna]

The latest commit uses bpy.app.binary_path to get the path to the blender.exe. The code to step through running Windows processes to find the blender.exe has been removed.

[JeffHanna]

With my latest change I successfully get an application icon when starting Blender from a command prompt using the "blender.exe --debug --python bqt.exe" command posted above.

Closing.
