If I use QFileInfo.filePath I get the uppercase notation only.

Can you show an example of original file path and Qt output ?

To much code to show. The case of the filenames in the tree does not always match the case of the actual filenames.

I create a QFileInfo object from a filename supplied by the user.

    QFileInfo fi(getFilename(FileKind::Source,i));

I like to have fi.baseName() with the actual case as in the Windows explorer. This filename is used to generate a make file. Make from Mingw is case senstitive.

What is the input you are giving to QFileInfo ?
