Hi Benjamin,
thanks for the info!
BTW, with Qt 4 it doesn't seem to be possible to programmatically enable the
display of hidden files or directories for a QFileDialog (correct me if I'm
wrong). Qt 3 had the method "void QFileDialog::setShowHiddenFiles(bool)":
http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qfiledialog.html#setShowHiddenFiles
I couldn't find any equivalent function in Qt 4.3. Why is it gone for Qt 4?
Or how can this be done with Qt 4?
Thanks in advance for any hints, René

That is correct, when the file dialog was made in 4.0 that function wasn't
re-added. I have added in 4.4 the function setFilter() which can be used to
turn on/off hidden files.
http://doc.trolltech.com/main-snapshot/qfiledialog.html#setFilter
There is another task to add a flag that would work for the static functions
too (native dialogs), but that wont be done for 4.4.

Okay, I see. Thanks a lot for the rapid response!
Have fun, René
