[Interest] Decoding drag&drop file URLs under Windows with QUrl

Dear all,

I'm implementing file dropping into my windows application.

I retrieve the URLs via mimeData->urls() in subclassed dropMimeData
functions.

When dropping a file, QUrl::toString() returns something like this:

    file:///C:\Users\foo\file.txt

And when getting the path with QUrl::path(), I get:

    /C:\Users\foo\file.txt

which is not valid

So it seems the file:/// triple slash windows format is not parsed properly.
Is this a QUrl windows bug? I'm using Qt 5.6.2

Thanks,

Etienne
