Interesting. Since you mentionned KArchive, I had a look at the karchive_qt4 branch where Ivan Komissarov ported the code to Windows. I still need to merge that in. And it says this: +#ifdef Q_OS_WIN +#include <qplatformdefs.h> // mode_t +#endif which indeed defines mode_t on Windows: It also defines QT_STAT_REG (to _S_IFREG) and QT_STAT_DIR (to _S_IFDIR). So S_ISDIR(mode) should be ported to (mode & QT_STAT_DIR), etc. This suddenly sounds a hell of a lot easier than using QFile::Permissions. Sorry for missing this earlier. There might be a bit of reverting to do, like parts of b03e81a61311ae1b64b0d37415477f9c08fe6142 which added QFile::Permissions stuff - for nothing, I see now. -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE, in particular KDE Frameworks 5 _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
