Drag incomming localurl !=linux not work kde

[wysota]

it display inside qtextedit "file:///path/blabla.xx"... as text not read inside

You're dropping on a wrong widget. The text edit has its own drop handler which is displaying text carried by the drag and it happens that URLs are stored as text, so it's a perfectly good drag for the text edit, so it handles the event and doesn't pass it to a parent widget where your drop handler resides. Try dropping outside the text edit.

i suppose toLocalFile(); is os different....

Of course it's os specific, but toLocalFile() doesn't have anything to do here - it's not even called when you drop on the text edit.

Or from the C++ Gui programming Book

Suppose the QTextEdit is inside a main Window then

MainWindow::MainWindow( ... ){
[...]
      textEdit->setAcceptDrops( false );
      setAcceptDrops( true );
}
 
void MainWindow::dragEnterEvent( QDragEnterEvent *e ) {
   // accept if  you can decode the mime data
}
 
void MainWindow::dropEvent( QDropEvent *e ) {
  // get the file from the mime Data
  readFile( file );
}

MainWindow::MainWindow( ... ){
[...]
      textEdit->setAcceptDrops( false );
      setAcceptDrops( true );
}

void MainWindow::dragEnterEvent( QDragEnterEvent *e ) {
   // accept if  you can decode the mime data
}

void MainWindow::dropEvent( QDropEvent *e ) {
  // get the file from the mime Data
  readFile( file );
}
