--- Comment #2 from Harald Sitter <sitter at kde.org> ---
As it turns out processes aren't by default privy to see onedrive files as
spares files. That has the advantage that most apps simply don't need to care
about what's what. One would need to set
RtlSetProcessPlaceholderCompatibilityMode to change that and I am not sure is a
good idea because it is NT API and could break things elsewhere in the stack
(e.g. in Qt).

Unhydrated files seem to have the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_UNPINNED attribute set though,
so we could just hold on to that in absence of other information. Supposedly an
unpinned file would only ever be ephemerally present, if at all.
