Constructing a std::filesystem::path from a QString

[Perdrix]

Hi all I'm trying to construct a std::filesystem::path from a QString

I wrote:

std::filesystem::path path(settings.value(keyName).toString().toStdU16String());

but I'm concerned that this may only work correctly on Windows.

What's the "correct" way to do this please?

Thanks

Why?

If there's no problem, then I am happy - it's just that I've been bitten before by stuff that felt like it ought to work but didn't!

Still no clear answer :)
When the path is properly constructed I don't see what should go wrong here.
