    Description

      When opening a .pro file as an argument (i.e QtCreator.exe "D:\file.pro") the following error occurs:

      File error:

      Cannot open <filepath>'<filepath>\file.pro' for reading: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

      I think the problem is with the duplicate <filepath>, it should be instead:

      '<filepath>\file.pro' without the <filepath> before.

      When opening a .pro file using "Open File or Project" from inside Qt Creator, it works without any problems.

      Best,
      MJaoune

      P.S I think this is a very lame bug that should not be in such a big project (Qt), even in ALPHA or BETA stages.
