Hi,

see QFileDialog::setFilter() with QDir::Executable.

I did like

QFileDialog fileDlg;
fileDlg.setFilter(QDir::Executable);
QString fileName = open.getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open Executables "), QDir::homePath());

QFileDialog fileDlg;
fileDlg.setFilter(QDir::Executable);
QString fileName = open.getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open Executables "), QDir::homePath());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But its not working. I'm using Ubuntu.

First your pasted code is senseless since fileDlg and open are not the same. Second QFileDialog::getOpenFileName() is a static member function, so all settings you made before are not used. So use QFileDialog::exec() instead.
