Solved QDir doesn't accept valid local QUrl

[Asperamanca]

So apparently the QML FileDialog delivers an URL to the file or folder. In my case, I select a valid local folder (not file), and try to open the folder via QUrl

    // folderUrl originating from QML
    const auto& path = folderUrl.path();
    QDir checkDir(path);
    if ( ! checkDir.exists())

The only strange thins is that 'path' displays a preceding slash ("/C:/someFolder"), otherwise it's perfectly fine and exists. However, QDir cannot open it (exists() returns false)

Any clues what goes wrong here?

Answering my own question: QUrl::toLocalFile is the right one to use in this case, instead of ::path()
