QFileSystemModel and QTreeView with drag-drop/rename/delete

pmh4514

I have a QFileSystemModel and QTreeVIew working well as a basic directory browser filtering certain file names.
Is it possible to make it behave like the left side of a file dialog or basic explorer, so that I can drag/drop folders and affect the underlying file-system, as well as right click to rename and delete? Or do I have to piece all these functions together by hand to give those basic file management functions?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

IIRC, you must disable QFileSystemModel's readOnly property and it should work.

Hope it helps

Hi, thank you.

I tried this and it works well for renaming folders and files. Is there built-in ability to drag/drop to move, and delete?

thanks!

You're welcome !

It's explained in the documentation "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/model-view-programming.html#using-drag-and-drop-with-item-views
