QFileSystemModel::directoryLoaded() signal passes a drive root as x: not x:/

[KO Myung-Hun]

Hi/2

When connecting directoryLoaded() signal, a drive root is passed to a slot as x: not x:/.

Actually, x:/ is passed on Qt for Windows.

For example, see the following code snippets.

    QFileSystemModel* model = new QFileSystemModel;
    connect(model, SIGNAL(directoryLoaded(QString)),
            this, SLOT(directoryLoaded(QString)));

    model->setRootPath("");

    QTreeView *treeView = new QTreeView;
    treeView->setModel(model);
    treeView->setCurrentIndex(model->index(QDir::currentPath()));

And if a current directory is x:/path/to/dir, then slot directoryLoaded() receives a directory in this order.

1. x:
2. x:/path
3. x:/path/to
4. x:/path/to/dir

However, on Windows

1. x:/
2. x:/path
3. x:/path/to
4. x:/path/to/dir

I think, Windows is right. Because x: is not a fully-qualified path and it means a current directory of x: drive.
