File extension .PRI
Full Name | Developer | Category |
---|---|---|
Qt Project Include Format | Nokia | Developer Files |
The PRI (.pri) file extension is associated with the include files of Qt Project, a development framework used to create graphical user interfaces and perform application programming. The PRI file type contains project-specific information for Qt Application Development, which includes the properties of basic elements such as classes and functions. It is important for the Qt Compiler process when compiling source code of a Qt program.
Structure Inside PRI files
PRI files are formatted using an XML markup language. The main purpose is to synthesize the properties and changes made to specified classes and functions by different project participants. Inside these files, class names and settings are referred to as ”objectives” while variables are referred to as ”attributes”. Additionally, it stores references to other files like QML document types.
Similar File Types
The.pri file extension is related with other Qt encapsulation and coding types such as (.cpp), (.pro), (.qrc), and (.qml). Though these specific files are targeted at different aspects of Qt development, they can be referenced within PRI documents when compiling software applications.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PRI) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PRI extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PRI file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PRI extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PRI extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PRI file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PRI file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PRI file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PRI file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PRI file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
