I think there's a proper URL format for them. I don't know, since I don't 
write QML code nor for any mobile platform, so this issue has never occurred 
to me. Others may chime in.

The only thing you shouldn't do is this:

> source:"file://"+currentFile.path

NEVER form URLs from file paths by concatenation. Always use 
QUrl::fromLocalFile() [and whatever passes for QML's equivalent] to make sure 
that special characters get quoted properly.

Special characters like '?':

Your file was called

assets-library://asset/asset.PNG?
id=32E17445-91B9-48FE-81C6-13D4E2F01554&ext=PNG

The URL you formed resulted in

	host = "assets-library"
	path = "//asset/asset.PNG"
	query = "id=32E17445-91B9-48FE-81C6-13D4E2F01554&ext=PNG"

Whereas if you had used QUrl::fromLocalFile, you'd have got

file:assets-library://asset/asset.PNG
%3Fid=32E17445-91B9-48FE-81C6-13D4E2F01554&ext=PNG
