Updating directory view in a QListView

[Cruz]

Hi there!

I'm trying to display the contents of a directory in a QListView. It works great like this:

QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;
ui.configFileList->setModel(model);
ui.configFileList->setRootIndex(model->index("config"));

QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;
ui.configFileList->setModel(model);
ui.configFileList->setRootIndex(model->index("config"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But the view doesn't update when I write a file into that directory or drop something there in a file manager. I thought that was the whole model view thing all about. I also tried explicitly calling update() on the widget, nothing. Now after reading the docs and taking a look at the Directory View example to no avail, please help me to make my directory view update automagically.

Use QFileSystemModel instead of QDirModel. The former is kept up to date using QFileSystemWatcher.
