Customizing QFileDialog

[wysota]

I wouldn't say there is any right way to do it. Especially that in 90% of the cases native dialogs are used and not the dialog created by Qt.

Is it possible to customize QFileDialog in the way that there is no way to leave a particular (specified) subdirectory? The reason is, I wouldn't like the user to choose the files from ANY directory but from the given ones.

Thanks in advance

I guess you could read this thread : http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/2817...ific-directory

Oh, thanks, I guess, this should work!!

Well, this works only partially. Namely, e.g. I wanna stay in the directory /tmp. And click to Up-icon in the QFileDialog window. This generates the signal directoryEntered(const QString), which I can catch up and move back to /tmp. However, the path "/" remains in the history. And then backButton from the QFileDialogPrivate can be used and does not generate the signal. In this way, I can traverse the entire /-tree.

Would appreciate any comments

P.S. clearing histroy also didn't help.

P.P.S changeEvent also doesn't react to back- and forward-buttons. However, it does work on go-up-button

Ok, just to tell how I solved the problem:

In the file qfiledialog.cpp in functions
void QFileDialogPrivate::_q_navigateForward()
and
void QFileDialogPrivate::_q_navigateBackward()
after
q->setDirectory(nextHistory);
and
q->setDirectory(previousHistory);

I added
emit q->directoryEntered(nextHistory);
and
emit q->directoryEntered(previousHistory);
respectively.

Recompile -> runs

However, I'm not sure, if it's a bug or a feature
