## Member Function Documentation

### QString QFileInfo::absFilePath () const

Use absoluteFilePath() instead.

### QString QFileInfo::baseName ( bool complete )

Use completeBaseName() or the baseName() overload that takes no parameters instead.

### bool QFileInfo::convertToAbs ()

Use makeAbsolute() instead.

### QDir QFileInfo::dir ( bool absPath ) const

Use absoluteDir() or the dir() overload that takes no parameters instead.

### QString QFileInfo::dirPath ( bool absPath = false ) const

Use absolutePath() if the absolute path is wanted (absPath is true) or path() if it's not necessary (absPath is false).

### QString QFileInfo::extension ( bool complete = true ) const

Use completeSuffix() or suffix() instead.

### bool QFileInfo::permission ( PermissionSpec permissions ) const
