I assumed that since it uses a qvariant that this cannot be guaranteed, in which case the loop overwrites non-string values with an empty string.  If we can guarantee it will always be a string, then does it really need to be a qvariant?

With the patch from "-" -> "" the loop is pointless unless you actively want to destroy information where you explicitly do not know what it is.
