      It would be nice if it was possible to open a file through a QFile object by passing the file's path through a QDir object. For example, something like:

      QFile file;
      QDir dir("/home/user/Documents");
      file.setFileName(dir,"test.txt");    // this would point to "/home/user/Documents/test.txt"
      file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text);
      

      Another alternative which would be excellent would be if QDir offered a method that returned a QFile object that pointed to a file in QDir's directory. So, for example:

      QFile file;
      QDir dir("/home/user/Documents");
      file = dir.getFile("test.txt");    // this would returnn a QFile object pointing to "/home/user/Documents/test.txt"
      file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text);
