QFileDialog filter

How to filter only execuatable files in Linux ?

[yogeshgokul]

Set following property before displaying file dialog.

QFileDialog::setFilter(QDir::Executable)

[wirasto]

Not work. Is something wrong with my code ?


QFileDialog open;
open.setFilter(QDir::Executable);
QString fileName = open.getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open Binary File"), QDir::homePath());

The Qt documentation says that QDir::Executable needs to be combined with QDir:: Dirs or QDir::Files.
Read the docs about QFileDialog::setFilter(...)!

[wirasto]

open.setFilter(QDir::Files | QDir::Executable);


Still not work :(
Have any suggestion ?

[axeljaeger]

Does anything happen when setting the filter? Does any other filter work for you?

[wirasto]

Nothing :crying:
And I don't know why... :crying:

[MarkoSan]

How do I set filter for retrieving list of files of type *.png AND *.jpg (or many more pic formats)?

[Boron]

Have a look at the "Detailed Description" of QFileDialog. There you will find an example for multiple filters.

Ok, now I see this post of yours with the same topic... It is because:
QDir::Executable 0x040 List files for which the application has execute access. The Executable value needs to be combined with Dirs or Files.

Hi Lykurg, Can u plz tell me how to combined the Executable valus?? :(

You have to use the bit operators like | & ^ ~. E.g. use QDir::Files | QDir::Executable.
