Hello @Skycoder42

I have recently came across an issue in my software utilizing QPathEdit. I load/save the UI elements state through QSettings. When loading the UI settings I call setPath() with allowInvalid argument set to true and I use the path() method when saving the GUI state.

However if the path is not valid (for e.g. the network drive was not available when I loaded the settings) the QPathEdit displays the path with red but when I save the settings with QPathEdit::path() I got an empty string back.

I would either suggest adding a method for querying the displayed path or we could add a bool queryInvalid argument to the path() member (and set to false by default to not to change the current behavior).

What do you think about this?
