The correct widget for a file/directory listing?

It is just a bit weird to use a Tree when I am not interested in a tree at all...

That's just the way it is in Qt 4. QListView is a "flow" of items from top to bottom or from left to right. There is no such concept as "column" when it comes to QListView in Qt 4.

How about QTable?

Well, you could use QTableView too, but it's not so umm.. sophisticated? Take a look at the widget gallery and you'll see the difference: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/gallery-plastique.html
