I'd rather static bool QFile::isAtomicRename(const QString &source, cont QString &dest); So that the software can plan accordingly. Blindly executing won't allow the software to accomodate non-atomic renames (i.e. Display an alternate UI). It would also be nice if there was an atomic-esque non-atomic rename, that would be a copy to the target FS and then atomic rename.
