Qt doesn't mount that USB stick, Qt doesn't manage mounting [and whatever else system-wide] flags and settings; so should Qt ever care about some platform/misconfiguration issues? IMO, issues like this one should (or even must) be fixed at a platform level, whilst high-level frameworks should not even try to workaround them. This is exactly what we were decided to do with the "space character(s) at the end of file name" issue on Windows, BTW. Regards, Konstantin
