[Qt-interest] QFile::exists on a folder

[Mika Rajala]

I remember reading that it's not like this on every file/operating system. Especially ancient or special ones.

 

But I see your point.

 

Maybe it's intentional, but why it's not mentioned in the documentation of QFile::Exists?

QDir::exists has a lot better documentation.
