.\ just means one step up in the folder hierarchy.

Use the relative path to load from the same folder irrespective of the path.

Just to clarify

.\ means current directory (folder) E.g.: if C:\Parent\Child\app.qvw refers to .\ means C:\Parent\Child

..\ means the directory in which the current path is, using the same example as above, C:\Parent
