Of course... Windows 8-bit APIs always use the local encoding, so you need=
=20
to use the Unicode non-POSIX API to be able to open those files. (i.e.,=20
use CreateFileW to open the file; I don't know if they provide a _wopen=20
or _wfopen)

Also remember that use of QStrings to mean filenames is widespread in Qt=20
and KDE code. You have to convert *all* of those to QByteArray.
