[Qt-interest] Some QDir questions

[Miroslav Kropacek]

Hi everybody,

I finally joined the list :) I'm very satisfied user of your Qt library,
amazing thing. And amazing to the power of two considering March 2009 LGPL
release.

I'd like to ask some things about QDir class:

- why there isn't something like QTemporaryDir child? It would be really
nice, I even found one discussion in this list concerning the same problem
with no solution (Windows even has no such function -- to create unique
directory name in some specified path)

- why is creation of directory such strange? I mean, I have QString with
some path and I want to make directory on disk. The best I'm able to code is
something like this:

QDir dir( "path" );
dir.mkdir( dir.path() ); // or mkpath() if needed

wouldn't be much nicer to have some static method, i.e. QDir::create( const
QString& ) ? Or, at least, to have mkdir(void) ? I see no point why I have
type so much...

- why QDir::exists( const QString& ) isn't static as in QFile class?

I hope my questions aren't too lame :) Thanks for any reaction in advance.
