QFileSystemModel/QListView and Additional file description

[Rysiek]

Hi All,

I writing simple image viewer and have have question. I using now QListWidget to show thumbnails and file descriptions, but I would like to switch to QListView + QFileSystemModel. It looks, like it works fine, except file names/description. I would like to have, instead of simple file names, some customized text (image description etc.), and I can't find way to put it in QFileSystemModel (there is no setText() method like in QListWidgetItem, I can't find any similar way). Is there any way to to this?

Regards
Ryszard

It's your view (using QListView) which must render your QFileSystemModel object the way you want it.

Yes, perhaps you right, but I did not found the way to change the way that QListView is rendering QFileSystemModel. As I mentioned, in QListWidget, there is QListWidgetItem, ant it provide me easy way to change everything I want, unfortunately it does not work witch QFileSystemModel, and QListView does not provide anything similar to QlistWidgetItem.

Well, tell yourself that you are, at least, doing the right thing by going away from QlistWidgetItem and by using QListView with QFileSystemModel. Otherwise, you might want to check qtfm (http://www.qtfm.org/). It might give you some ideas on how to do what you are after.

You are referring to making my own model on a base of the QFileSystemModel, and reimplementing itemData parameter? I'll try it, thanks.
