multiple directory selection dialog
Message 1 in thread
I'm having a bit of trouble with one of the examples from the FAQ. I would
like a directory selection dialog that allows for the selection of multiple
directories. My solution seems to be the FAQ entry at:
http://trolltech.com/developer/knowledgebase/faq.2007-03-08.3778118820/
When I compile that example however in QT 4.3.2 under Ubuntu, only the
Detail View allows for multiple selection. The List View does not.
The specific code I'm compiling is:
http://odin.himinbi.org/tests/qt_multiple_dir_select.cpp
I was initially attempting this in PyQT and the results are the same:
http://odin.himinbi.org/tests/multiple_dir_select.py
I'm new to QT and it is easily possible I'm missing something. I did only
copy and compile the C++ code though, so there's not really all that much
room for error.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I can reproduce that with Qt 4.3 and 4.4 as well. Maybe this FAQ was written
and tested using some prior version of Qt 4, but it certainly doesn't apply to
current versions of Qt. Have you reported this as a (FAQ) bug?

The solution is simple: QFileDialog has a single QTreeView child, but many
QListView children. You were retrieving the "sidebar" view instead of the
"listView" view. Make sure you retrieve the correct "listView" view before
applying setSelectionMode() to it.
Try changing from:
QListView *l = w.findChild<QListView*>();
to:
QListView *l = w.findChild<QListView*>("listView");
