I am trying to read some file's contents from within an Amarok script. I included qt.core bindings.

var myFile = new QFile(path);
Amarok.alert(myFile.size());

returns the correct size of the file stored at path.

However,
myFile.exists(path)
always returns false, and so does
myFile.open(1)

(I used the 1 for QIODevice::ReadOnly, since I do not know how to access this constant from JavaScript)

Does someone have a hint on how I can open and read binary files in an Amarok Script?

Tanks
fpe

Does "path" contain a path to an actual file on disk?

Yes.
The code did work in C++, now I'm trying to port it to Amarok Script.

I finally found out how to correctly open a file for reading:

myFile.open(new QIODevice.OpenMode(QIODevice.ReadOnly));

Now it's working
