Save App with self MenuBar

Zayle

Hi,
I've create self menuBar with the button : File, Save, Save As, etc..

And i would like to save my Python File with the Windows Explorer, but i completely stuck for the rest of the code.

self.saveAsAction.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "Save To...")) self.saveAsAction.setShortcut(_translate("MainWindow", "Ctrl+Shift+S"))
self.saveAsAction.triggered.connect(self.saveAs)

 def saveAs(self):

If you have any idea that could unblock me, i'll take it !

Thanks

You probably want to just use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfiledialog.html#getSaveFileName

Hi, and thanks for your answer.
I continue with the documentation of Qt, but i'm stuck again :

saveAction = QtGui.QAction("&Save File", self)
        self.saveAction.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "Save To"))
        self.saveAction.setShortcut(_translate("MainWindow", "Ctrl+S"))
        self.saveAction.setStatusTip('Save File')
        self.saveAction.triggered.connect(self.file_save)

        self.mainMenu = self.menubar()
        self.fileMenu.addAction(saveAction)

    def file_save(self):
        name = QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self, 'Save File')
        file = open(name, 'w')
        text = self.textEdit.toPlainText()
        file.write(text)
        file.close()

I've an error in this line :

saveAction = QtGui.QAction("&Save File", self)

AttributeError: module 'PyQt5.QtGui' has no attribute 'QAction'

I don't know how to solve it

Hi,

Because QAction is part of the widgets module.

You have that information in the small table at the top of the documentation.

@SGaist Hi, if i understand, this line :

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QInputDialog, QLineEdit, QFileDialog, QTextEdit, QAction

is enough ?

@Zayle
Should be! Give it a go?

@Zayle said in Save App with self MenuBar:

If your remove the QtGui. where you use QAction.

Ok, i think, understood !
