[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Qt: PLTreeView: Fix name encoding in the tooltip

[Naohiro KORIYAMA]

I found the articles about QString and UTF-8.
http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/03/26/on-utf-8-latin-1-and-charsets/
http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/03/25/qstrings-and-unicode-optimising-qstringfromutf8/

So, I think using QString::fromUtf8() is better.
