fileSystemRepresentation and filenameFromString do the same thing. Unify them into filenameFromString.

filenameFromString() is poorly named and unused/unimplemented on many platforms. It doesn't even return a file name.

I suggest removing this function instead.

Okay. Remove filenameFromString instead.

Looks good to me as far as most ports are concerned, but I don't understand what Gtk/Efl were doing here. Maybe someone working on Gtk should take a look, too.

-    char* filename = g_uri_unescape_string(string.utf8().data(), 0);
+    char* filename = g_uri_unescape_string(path.utf8().data(), 0);

We can see the reason from the following ChangeLog.

        [GTK] File names are not always encodable in UTF-8

        On Linux file names are just raw data and cannot always be directly
        encoded in UTF-8 or in any other encodings, so we escape them before
        storing the file name in a String and unescape them before passing
        them to native functions handling files.
