QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames works on Windows but not on Linux
-
Oh ... i am using Qt 4.7

Hi,
Are you tied to that specific old version of Qt ? Can you use 4.8.5 ?
-
Unfortunately, I believe we are tied to Qt 4.7. Are their known issues related to Windows/Linux QFileDialog?
I will ask my supervisor if it will be possible to migrate to newer release but when i asked previously their was concern for dependencies and schedule.
Thanks

Tell him you talk about Qt 4.8 and not Qt 5, that might help
-
Thanks for your feedback. Is it that there is known issue with Qt's 4.7 FileDialog on Linux? or is it simply that better support/feedback would be provided with Qt 4.8.5 ?
I'm also wondering if the problem could be caused by running this Linux/Fedora Qt app from remote connection? ie: windows laptop running cygwin/X Server and remote login to Linux server. I've had problems in the past running interactive graphics via remote connections.
Thanks again!

I don't know, but you can search for "Qt 4.7 known issues".
There have been a lot of bug fixes done in between so unless you're completely locked, having the latest version in a series is better.
There could be indeed some bad interaction with such a setup. Testing it directly on the linux machine can help narrow down the problem.

Thanks ...

Yes. I was able to confirm that it was the remote connection that was causing the issue. My sup has approved moving to Qt 8.5 anyways :)
Thanks -
oh ... I meant Qt 4.8.5 ... it's the end of a day

You're welcome,
If building Qt yourself is an option, you could consider building the latest 4.8 version from git.
