[Qt-interest] QFileDialog::getOpenFileName Directory name

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

>From Qt documentation:

"QString QFileDialog::getOpenFileName ( QWidget * parent = 0, const QString & caption = QString(), const QString & dir = QString(), const QString & filter = QString(), QString * selectedFilter = 0, Options options = 0 )   [static]

This is a convenience static function that returns an existing file selected by the user. If the user presses Cancel, it returns a null string.

 QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open File"),
                                                 "/home",
                                                 tr("Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)"));"

I can bet "/home" is not file. But I guess if home did not exist, dialog would treat it as a file name.

My point was to check if he actually the path mentioned in the directory name exist.
If the pass is relative and coed runs from different locations path can't be found in one case,
and problem has nothing to do with the way string is passed to static function.

Sorry if it was not clear.

But note in my test (done with windows-style "\" rather than
unix-style "/") that "/foo/bar/baz/" was interpreted as directory
"/foo/bar/baz/" and no pre-loaded file name, while "/foo/bar/baz"
(no trailing "/") was interpreted as directory "/foo/bar/" and
pre-loaded file name "baz".
