    @Kinesis If you don't want to show the whole path, then just schow the subdirectory, but keep the path to its parent directory to use later.

    /a/b/c
    /a/b/d
    /a/b/e
    

    Keep /a/b as parent and show only c, d and e.

          @Kinesis Well:

          QString dirPath = finfo.absoluteDir().dirName();
          

          You should read documentation and try.

            @Kinesis:

            for (const QFileInfo &finfo: directory.entryInfoList()) {
              QDir dir(finfo.absoluteFilePath());
              ui->listWidget_dirs->addItem(dir.dirName());
            }
            

            disclaimer: only brain compiled

            Edit: @jsulm has the better solution :)

            Qt has to stay free or it will die.

              Well , I did as you said . Now I can list only subdirs . But I can't use this name as file path . Because I added a click function to list images . If I click one of the subdir name, images will be displayed inside this subdir. But in that case I can't use the name . What should I do?Full code is here.

              QDir directory = QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(this, tr("Open Directory"),"/home", QFileDialog::ShowDirsOnly| QFileDialog::DontResolveSymlinks);
                   
                  auto listWidget_images = new QListWidget();//set listwidget to display images
                  listWidget_images->setMinimumSize(1200,400);
                  listWidget_images->setViewMode(QListWidget::IconMode);
                  listWidget_images->setIconSize(QSize(320,240));
                  listWidget_images->setResizeMode(QListWidget::Adjust);
              
                 
                
              for (const QFileInfo &finfo: directory.entryInfoList()) {
                   QDir dir(finfo.absoluteFilePath());
                   ui->listWidget_dirs->addItem(dir.dirName());
              
                 
              
              
                  connect(ui->listWidget_dirs, & QListWidget::itemClicked,[listWidget_images,this](QListWidgetItem *item)
                  {
                      listWidget_images->show();
                      listWidget_images->clear();
                      QDir directory(item->text());
                      directory.setNameFilters({"*.png", "*.jpg"});
                      for(const QFileInfo & finfo: directory.entryInfoList()){
                          QListWidgetItem *item = new QListWidgetItem(QIcon(finfo.absoluteFilePath()), finfo.fileName());
                          listWidget_images->addItem(item);
              
                      }
                  });
              

              I can click the suddir names but the images won't be displayed. :(

                @Kinesis said in List Sub_directories from selected directory:

                QDir directory(item->text());

                As I said above you need the parent directory, now you only have the last directory which is then relative path.

                 QDir directory(parentDir + '/' + item->text());

                      Well , thanks . I added directory in capture list. But When I try to combine parent dir and child dir , "QDir path(directory + '/' + item->text());" , I got an error "invalid operands to binary expression ('QDir' and 'int')" . How can I fix that?
