    Description

      Main qml is usually set somewhat like this:

      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QApplication app(argc, argv);
      
          QDeclarativeView view;
          view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("main.qml"));
          view.show();
      
          return app.exec();
      }
      

      QDeclarativeView::setSource() will end up calling

      QUrl::fromLocalFile(QDir::currentPath() + QDir::separator()).resolved(QUrl::fromLocalFile("main.qml"))
      

      Debug prints for Qt Quick application that is in ROM:

      Qt 4.7.4
      [Qt Message] QDir::currentPath(): "Z:/Private/200346e0"
      [Qt Message] QDir::homePath(): "C:/Data"
      [Qt Message] QDir::rootPath(): "C:/Data"
      [Qt Message] QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath(): "C:/Private/200346e0"
      [Qt Message] QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath(): "Z:\sys\bin\componenttest.exe"

      Qt 4.8
      [Qt Message] QDir::currentPath(): "C:/Private/200346e0"
      [Qt Message] QDir::homePath(): "C:/Data"
      [Qt Message] QDir::rootPath(): "C:/"
      [Qt Message] QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath(): "C:/Private/200346e0"
      [Qt Message] QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath(): "Z:\sys\bin\componenttest.exe"

      On 4.8 QDir::currentPath() returns C: drive instead of Z:. Main.qml is in z:/Private/200346e0 and end up getting error "file:///C:/Private/200346e0/main.qml: File not found".
      Just wondering can that is it ok to change QDir::currentPath() behavior like this between minor versions?

      This can be resolved on application level by giving absolute path to QDeclarativeView::setSource() instead.
