File IO using QTCreator IDE on Linux

I just started using QTCreator IDE on Linux, and I love everything about it except I ran into an issue with file IO. This doesn't concern the QT library, just the IDE and C++. The issue is that I have to specify the full path name for a file - like so:

Shader shader ("/home/user/Documents/OpenGL/SandboxProject/vertexShader.glsl")

In contrast, on CodeBlocks I can just do the current directory:

Shader shader ("./vertexShader.glsl")

Do I need to configure something in the IDE? I noticed that when I type in the terminal which qtcreator it is in /usr/bin/ whereas my CodeBlocks binary is in /usr/local/bin/

Go to Projects -> Select your project tab -> Select the Run tab -> Check the Run section and set the Working directory as you need it.

If you are developing a cross-platform Qt app, I'd recommend to use the Qt Resource System, which compiles resource files into your binary.
