Hi,

I'd suggest taking a look at the FolderListModel element if you haven't done so already (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-folderlistmodel.html). You can find an example of its use in the qmlviewer application (the QML files are in the source tree under tools/qml/browser).

In regards to model->setRootPath("/home/user/"), from the documentation it looks like this function only determines what directory is watched by the model for changes, and doesn't impact what is exposed to/shown by the view (rootIndex needs to be set for that).

Regards,
Michael

I am assuming this is the dialog used on the qmlviewer application when file--> open is selected?

It depends on the platform as to what qmlviewer shows by default. You can explicitly turn on the QML-based file browser by passing -qmlbrowser to qmlviewer.

Thanks alot with folder list model as an example my sample is now working

Arifa

An issue which actually occurred now is when I create a new folder or file it does not refresh at that time but need to reopen my sample again.

Is there a way to refresh or we need to implement a separate button for it?

It's strange because: QFileSystemModel keeps a cache with file information. The cache is automatically kept up to date using the QFileSystemWatcher.

Yes using QFileSysytemModel it works but currently I am using QML (folderlist model)
where I am actually setting the folder path as we go into the folders but still it does not work

I have actually raised a bug for the issue http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-17141
