File type filter not working with QFileDialog

xpress_embedo

Hello Everyone,
I am new to Qt and mostly use PyQt5 but i decided to learn Qt, and as a start point i read few online tutorials and practiced few things.
Now I am working on a very small project, in which i just have to save the path of file selected, and there are only few file types allowed i.e. *.srec, *.hex, *.mot.
But unfortunately, I am not able to use file type using QFileDialog in Qt, but the same thing is working in PyQt5.

The piece code of code i am using is as follow:

void Flasher::on_actionOpen_triggered()
{
  QString filepath = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(
        this,
        tr("Open File"),
        "srec file(*.srec) ;; hex file(*.hex) ;; mot file(*.mot)"
        );
  //QString filename = filepath.right()
  ui->lbl_filepath->setText(filepath);
  fileloaded = true;
}

and the output it is producing is as follow.

While the similar code in Python and PyQt5, I am getting results.

    filetype = 'srec file(*.srec) ;; hex file(*.hex) ;; ihex file(*.ihex) ;; motorola file(*.mot)'
    filepath, _ = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(Flasher, \
                                              'Open File for Programming',\
                                              filter=filetype,\
                                              options=QFileDialog.DontUseNativeDialog)

And output with this is as follow:

Can anyone please help me, what I am doing wrong which is causing this behavior.
Thanks in Advance.

File type filter is coming on file name, so I added one empty string and it started working properly.
The updated code is as follow:

void Flasher::on_actionOpen_triggered()
{
  // QString selfilter = tr("srec file(*.srec) ");
  QString filepath = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(
        this,
        tr("Open File"),
        "",
        "srec file (*.srec);;hex file (*.hex);;mot file (*.mot)"
        );
  // QString filename = filepath.right()
  ui->lbl_filepath->setText(filepath);
  fileloaded = true;
}

This works for me.

Try like this:

"srec file (*.srec);;hex file (*.hex);;mot file (*.mot)"

@kshegunov said in File type filter not working with QFileDialog:

"srec file (.srec);;hex file (.hex);;mot file (*.mot)"

Still same problem.

void Flasher::on_actionOpen_triggered()
{
  // QString selfilter = tr("srec file(*.srec) ");
  QString filepath = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(
        this,
        tr("Open File"),
        "srec file (*.srec);;hex file (*.hex);;mot file (*.mot)"
        );
  //QString filename = filepath.right()
  ui->lbl_filepath->setText(filepath);
  fileloaded = true;
}
