[Qt-interest] anyone know why QDir::mkpath() isn't static?

Then you are probably taking a performance hit.

I would vote against anything which trades away
performance for small increases in convenience.
Too much of QtCore already suffers from this.

Qt should provide the convenience layer,
but it also has to provide the fast lane.
