[Eric] Help with automatic placement of compiled resource file / automated import statement

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello,

the requested function is not available yet. I will add an option to the 
project forms browser, that allows to configure the "--import-from=" option of 
the pyuic5 forms compiler. This will then generate import statements like 
"from resources import icon_rc". I hope this is what you were looking for. The 
plan is to have this included in the 18.12 release.
