Well...no joy! I tried QVariant, but still didn't change the header. When you have a free moment, would you mind trying to create a qFileSystemModel, and try to change the header please? Just wondering if setHeaderData() actually works on a Qfilesystemmodel, or if I'm doing something wrong somewhere. Wondering if the default headers are even editable.

deriving from QFileSystemModel and reimplementing headerData()
Can you explain this a bit more please? How do I reimplement headerData() ? Do you mean subClass QFileSystemModel? Or create a QstandardItemModel and copy the info from my QFileSystemModel? is that possible?

Thanks!
Cheers!
