Actually.. Just found it!!! It can be used in QDirModel to filter the top level return values...

AHHH... sorry... In that case.. I believe you are correct... int main( int argc, char ** argv ) { QDir root = QDir::root(); QStringList drives = root.entryList( QDir::Drives ); foreach( const QString & drive, drives ) { qDebug() << drive; } } Returns nothing at all.. Infact, I don’t see the QDir::Drives used in the qfsfilesystem _win.cpp code at all... It may have been created before the QDir::drives() existed...

"" is equivalent to ".", meaning the current directory. (Note: this isn't a question about how to get a list of drives. The QDir::drives() function does that. This is just a question about the intention of the QDir::Drives filter enum.)
