QDir("/PATH/TO/DIR").count()
Returns 2 for empty directories ("." and ".." are counted).

@jsulm is this always true? in every platform include windows, mac, linux?

I tested on Linux and Windows: it returns 2 for empty directories. Since MacOS X is a UNIX like system it behaves same there for sure.
