toEncoded() is just wrong (from Qt assistant):

"The user info, path and fragment are all converted to UTF-8, and all 
non-ASCII characters are then percent encoded."

non-ASCII characters are then percent encoded.

That means that our special characters are killed down by this method and we 
just lose the ability of accessing those files.
