    Description

      Steps to reproduce:

      • Create a shortcut to a file, a folder and a drive on the desktop
      • Build qtbase\tests\manual\dialogs against Qt 4,5
      • Doubleclick the shortcuts QFileDialog::getSaveFileName() with QFileDialog::DontResolveSymLinks checked/unchecked
      • Qt 4 changes to folder, drive respectively and asks to overwrite the target file regardless of QFileDialog::DontResolveSymLinks
      • Qt 5 acts like Qt 4 with QFileDialog::DontResolveSymLinks==false. With QFileDialog::DontResolveSymLinks==true, it will change to the folder, but ask to overwrite the drive or the file link (.lnk file)

      Qt4 resolves drive letter and also folder shortcuts on desktop
      but with qt5 only folders are resolved
