QFileDialog to select files AND folders

[ijab]

I tried to handle the same problem and I found a solution after searching in QT forums. The following is the codes that you could try:

QFileDialog* _f_dlg = new QFileDialog(this);
  _f_dlg->setFileMode(QFileDialog::Directory);
  _f_dlg->setOption(QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog, true);
 
  // Try to select multiple files and directories at the same time in QFileDialog
  QListView *l = _f_dlg->findChild<QListView*>("listView");
  if (l) {
    l->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::MultiSelection);
   }
  QTreeView *t = _f_dlg->findChild<QTreeView*>();
   if (t) {
     t->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::MultiSelection);
    }
 
  int nMode = _f_dlg->exec();
  QStringList _fnames = _f_dlg->selectedFiles();

QFileDialog* _f_dlg = new QFileDialog(this);
  _f_dlg->setFileMode(QFileDialog::Directory);
  _f_dlg->setOption(QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog, true);
 
  // Try to select multiple files and directories at the same time in QFileDialog
  QListView *l = _f_dlg->findChild<QListView*>("listView");
  if (l) {
    l->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::MultiSelection);
   }
  QTreeView *t = _f_dlg->findChild<QTreeView*>();
   if (t) {
     t->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::MultiSelection);
    }
 
  int nMode = _f_dlg->exec();
  QStringList _fnames = _f_dlg->selectedFiles();
