Customize QFileDialog

[Swankee]

Cool, thank you!

Here's what I came up with, but why does it launch so slow (~10 seconds) when I try to display all drives ("\\").

QSplitter *splitter = new QSplitter;
    QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;
    model->setFilter( QDir::AllEntries | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot ) ;
    QTreeView *tree = new QTreeView(splitter);
    tree->setModel(model);
 
    tree->setRootIndex(model->index( "\\" ));
 
    splitter->setWindowTitle("Quick Look");
    splitter->show();

QSplitter *splitter = new QSplitter;
    QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;
    model->setFilter( QDir::AllEntries | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot ) ;
    QTreeView *tree = new QTreeView(splitter);
    tree->setModel(model);

    tree->setRootIndex(model->index( "\\" ));

    splitter->setWindowTitle("Quick Look");
    splitter->show();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Can anyone lend a hand?

thanks!

Because QDirModel is slow. Contrary to QFileSystemModel.

Good to know.

Would you mind assisting with a piece of code?

Try and see.

Here's what I was able to come up with but it's not displaying on click. It compiles but it doesnt' work. Could you help me get it to display?

QFileSystemModel *model = new QFileSystemModel(this);
    model->setResolveSymlinks(true);
    QModelIndex root = model->setRootPath(QDir::rootPath());
    this->setVisible(model);

QFileSystemModel *model = new QFileSystemModel(this);
    model->setResolveSymlinks(true);
    QModelIndex root = model->setRootPath(QDir::rootPath());
    this->setVisible(model);

this->setVisible(model);

this->setVisible(model);

This doesn't make much sense. What do you expect it to do?

[Swankee]

this->setVisible(model);

this->setVisible(model);

I ended up getting it working. I thought that would set the model visible, no?

Here it is:

QFileSystemModel *model = new QFileSystemModel;
model->setRootPath("");
QTreeView *tree = new QTreeView();
tree->setModel(model);
 
QString title("Quick Look");
tree->setWindowTitle(title);
 
tree->show();

QFileSystemModel *model = new QFileSystemModel;
model->setRootPath("");
QTreeView *tree = new QTreeView();
tree->setModel(model);

QString title("Quick Look");
tree->setWindowTitle(title);

tree->show();

Model is just a concept, it can't be made "visible".
