QFileDialog :: getExistingDirectory in the explorer does not display the directories of connected devices

[haifisch]

I have a phone connected and it is displayed in Explorer:

But when I try to open the explorer using the code in the program:

void IdentifyDevice::Explorer()
{
    QString path = QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(this, tr("Открыть каталог"),
                                                    "/home",
                                                    QFileDialog::DontResolveSymlinks);
    DevicePathLineEdit->setText(path);
}

Apple iPhone devices not in "Devices and drives." How to display all devices that are connected in "Devices and drives"?

This is not supported since this location does not return a valid file path I would guess (the call to SHBrowseForFolder explicitly states that Qt needs a valid url: https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/windows/qwindowsdialoghelpers.cpp.html#1816 and https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/win32/api/shlobj_core/ns-shlobj_core-browseinfoa / BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS )

@Christian-Ehrlicher Is there any way to do this? I need to identify the device in the program and specify the path to the device

Not with Qt. But as you can see in the calling the WinAPI isn't that hard.
