    Description

      On Windows, a file on a smb share can be references using a file url like:

      file://hostname/share-name/file-path/file.ext

      QDesktopServices::openUrl() fails to open such a file due to a simple bug in QDesktopServices::openDocument().
      For the above example QUrl gives a local filename of
      "//hostname/share-name/file-path/file.ext"
      which is basically correct but it seems that for remote files ShellExecute cannot cope with '//'.
      If the path is converted using toNativeSeparators() before passing it to ShellExecute it just works.
