I continually run into situations in QML where I'm being given a Url. Normally
these are file://... When I take my C++ api, expose it to QML and pass these
values from QML to the C++ api, things don't work, and as a result I have to
add if (filename.startsWith("file://")) {..trim it...} everywhere. This is
harshing my Qt zen. Am I just not groking something simple? Why cant QFile see
"file://" and handle it? Why isn't there a *static* QUrl::toLocalFile()? I
realize that when you use things like an image provider, that the protocol
matters. But it would be really cool if QFile and other classes could just take
a URL that protocol and run it through appropriately, so I can QFile
f("imageprovider://some/file"); f.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly); f.read()...
Usually things in Qt are pretty zen. So I suspect I'm missing something
obvious. Or am I just head of the curve for once?
