qfiledialog getOpenFileName under linux doesn't show any files

[criskross]

Hey guys by porting my code to linux i get the problem that my getOpenFileName of class QFileDialog doesn't show any files. What's my fault?

QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,"./", "*.*", "open file dialog");

QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,"./", "*.*", "open file dialog");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

thx in advance

no answer?

1) there're no files.

2) You put arguments in the wrong order.

Apart from amleto's observation about argument; on Linux a file pattern "*.*" is not necessarily going to show all the files in a given location.

[criskross]

but what pattern will show all files?

[amleto]

"*" ?

That argument is the filename filter, if you don't want to filter anything, don't specify one.
