Problem with QFileInfo::absolutePath() and relative paths as input

stvokr

Hi all,

I think QFileInfo does not return the absolute path as desired using relativ paths! Why?
Windows 7, Qt 5.3.2 and Qt 5.6

I want the absolute path of a directory and an file (both of them as absolute and relative path as input to the QFileInfo).
I think there must be is a "/" at the end to differ between files and directory.

// My application dir is D:/Test/User/Project.

// absolute path as input
QString dir1 = QFileInfo( "D:/Test/User/Project/test" ).absolutePath();
QString dir2 = QFileInfo( "D:/Test/User/Project/test/" ).absolutePath();

// relative path as input
QString dir3 = QFileInfo( "./test" ).absolutePath();
QString dir4 = QFileInfo( "./test/" ).absolutePath();

This is what I get

dir1 = "D:/Test/User/Project/"
dir2 = "D:/Test/User/Project/test/"

dir3 = "D:/Test/User/Project/"
dir4 = "D:/Test/User/Project/"

What is the problem here? Why do I get a wrong path with dir4, whereas dir4 is definitly a relative directory and not a file?
Btw, the same happens using absoluteDir() to get a QDir Objekt.

regards
Oliver
