    Description

      VMware Fusion provides access to the native file system that hangs off of \\.host\Shared Folders\. Qt is not able to read files from this path.
      Qt has custom code to detect UNC paths that looks for // or
      but not //. or
      .

      It should instead look for // or
      but not //./ or \\.\
