Public bug reported:

This is a little bit of a strange one. I have written a little script
which demonstrates this (I'll include it when I get home).


Here's the issue:

Use QFileDialog.getFileNames() to select a single file with a special
char in its name (a '#' will do it) and it returns the file name & path
correctly. Ie selecting a file called "#123.xml" returns a list with one
item "#123.xml"

However, use QFileDialog.getFileNames() to select multiple files with at
lease one file with special char in its name (a '#' will do it) and it
returns the file name & path incorrectly. Ie selecting a file called
"#123.xml" and a file called "abc.xml" returns a list with two items
"%23123.xml" & "abc.xml" (Note the # has been changed in to a %23.
Possible url encoding?)

When we come to open the file, Python cannot find the file "%23123.xml"
because it does not exist.

This seams to be a Qt bug (I've done a few searches, but found nothing)
but we could at least make some effort to see if the file actually
exists before trying to open it!
