Is it me or QDir?

[Morea]

But what is the point of QDir not having mkpath or exists as static members?
Creating a QDir that I will not use seems a little silly. Or have I missed something?

You will use it... to check if it exists

Anyway the docs say:

Check if a directory exists:

QDir dir("example");
if (!dir.exists())
   qWarning("Cannot find the example directory");

QDir dir("example");
if (!dir.exists())
   qWarning("Cannot find the example directory");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

(We could also use the static convenience function QFile::exists().)

Remember, from Unix point of view everything is a file.
