    Default QFileDialog use

    Is there a way to make a QFileDialog limited to staying in a given directory branch, e.g. it will display files and directories under /some/branch but nowhere else? Also, I would like the /some/branch to not show (everything appears as if in root directory).

    Thanks

    should be possible using:

    Qt Code:
    1. void QFileDialog::setProxyModel ( QAbstractProxyModel * proxyModel )
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    subclass the QDirModel implementing the above requirements, then use the proxymodel as the mediator between the dirmodel and the QFileDialog...

    that's what i would try first,

    but maybe there's also simpler solution ???

    Looks like QFileDialog::setProxyModel() was introduced in Qt 4.3

    Hi,

    I have the same problem right now.

    Were you able to solve it?

    If I subclass QDirModel, how can I change the RootDirectory?
