Thanks! Voted.

There is also already a patch for it... sometimes it's interesting to see how long bugs linger around and then a small change (here: chooinsg the correct maintainer) suddenly fixes it :)

I guess you can just use the static function!?

@HoMa
I suggested earlier that the OP could try that, but there is no guarantee it will behave any differently. The cache may be by filepath, not by QFile/QFileInfo instance, we don't know.

[HoMa]

@JonB Sorry - I missed that.

[JonB]

@HoMa Not a problem :) I'm just saying it may or may not make any difference! But worth a try.

@JonB I'll use the workaround thanks. I couldn't imagine I found such a bug..so I assumed it must be my code.

I couldn't imagine I found such a bug.

You produced a simple example, minimal code, clear output to show bad behaviour. If everybody did similar that would be really great :)
