QFileDialog: how to filter files with no extension

[fatecasino]

All files (*)

All files (*)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this does not work in windows, it shows simply all files and all extensions. Any ideas?!

[fatecasino]

nothing new? regular expression perhaps?

You can try to reimplement QFileDialog filtering filenames with dots, but standard class cannot do this. Yes, asterisk shows all files without exceptions.

[fatecasino]

do you mean by using reg expression? I haven't seen anything similar so far. I'll give a try, but if you have something to suggest..more than welcome!

[Oleg]

Yes, you can use regexp to filter files. But are you sure you really want to hide all files containing dots? Windows thinks that everything after last dot is extension, but actually it can be simply a part of name, like .htaccess files.

believe it or not, I haven't managed to filter filenames with dots.
Actually as I google I haven't seen any example of QRegExpand QFileDialog.
This thread appears in google results as the most representative for this problem ))
