Long file path to short file path QT API?
Message 1 in thread
Hi All.
I am new to QT and I am wondering whether is there a QT API that allows
me to convert a file path given in a long path name to a short path
name? By the looks of it, there is not any or I have overlooked somewhere.
For example, I need to make
"c:\program files\alongdirectory\alongfilename.exe" to
"c:\progra~1\alongd~2\alongf~1.exe"
Thank you.

Without looking at the Qt API: I don't think that there exists such a
functionality, since this is platform-dependent.
I know that Qt supports platform-dependent functionality (such as
ActiveQt), but I don't believe it supports knickknack such as shortening
a path ;) Use the Win32 API for that directly (I'm sure there exists
such a function which does that).
