I use toUtf8()... Though it wouldn't surprise me if Thiago scolds me for it :)
Note, If you are using a variatic function (printf), you need to use toUtf8().data() toUtf() returns a QbyteArray which has a conversion operator to char *...

Many places in the code have lines like the following: std::string path("/path/to/foo.txt"); FILE* f = fopen(path.c_str(), "wb"); If the "path" variable is now declared as a QString which QString method would be me the equivalent as the "c_str()" of std::string? Not sure if I should be using "toASCII()" or "data()" or "toUtf8()" or what exactly. Google didn't really give me a definitive answer.
