when using a framework...

[user4592357]

maybe this question sounds a little bit stupid but, when i'm using Qt with, say C++ (or Python), whose methods of file handling should i use - Qt or C++ (or Python)?

i mean, Qt has broader functionalities than C++ but for example Python can do the same as Qt - detect whether a path is a file or directory, etc.

@user4592357 Well, you can use what you want/prefer. When using Qt it makes sense to use Qt functionality to access file system as this integrates well with other parts of Qt.
