at the time this patch was conceived, it was meant as an exercise in
getting rid of usages of ProString::toQString(m_tmp). however, this was
meanwhile superseded by use of toQStringView().
but the change itself should have been done a long time ago already, and
there is no harm in going through with it.
on the way, this also unifies and fixes some of the error messages.
