How do we solve it then ? Do we need a new class that we use internally. In this class we store a filename, which is case-sensitive on case-sensitive filesystem, that is guaranteed to be a long filename and not a short one (on Windows), that is not a symlink, that is relative or absolute (pick one or both). Ideally, we can now in most cases just compare the strings. Only when we have to deal with user-defined paths we need to convert it into our standard format, or we ask QFileInfo whether a file already exists etc. (PS. The new class we should then call FileName and the current FileName class we should call File or FileInfo (maybe later)). Vincent
