Uhhm, sorry, I had my weak minute of today (and no coffee yet ;) when I wrote my previous post: you where specifically talking about symlinks, so you must be on a Unix environment - forget my Windows specific blah blah ;)

In fact, also forget the rest of my previous post, since you where already given the much nicer solution of using QDir::relativeFilePath()

(My solution is much more generic, in that it calculates the relative path between *any* objects (file or directory) - I think that was the reason why I ended up writing my own implementation. But now that I think of it I could have simplified my own solution by also using QDir::relativeFilePath() ;-)


Cheers, Oliver
