QFileDialog doesn't list tty* files in /dev/ on Linux
-
I'm working on a Linux desktop application that needs to open a USB serial port, typically /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1. I'm using QFileDialog to let the user select the file:
@
QFileDialog dialog(this);
dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::AnyFile);
dialog.setFilter(QDir::System | QDir::AllEntries | QDir::Hidden);
dialog.setViewMode(QFileDialog::Detail);
QStringList fileNames;
if (dialog.exec())
fileNames = dialog.selectedFiles();
@When I direct the FileDialog to /dev, none of the files that I can see by typing "ls /dev -al" are there. The directories show up, but for example, this file doesn't:
@
$ ls -al /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2011-10-09 10:47 /dev/ttyS0
@My user is a member of the dialout group:
@
$ groups
luke adm dialout cdrom audio video plugdev users fuse netdev bluetooth lpadmin admin sambashare
@I've tried adding QDir::Readable and QDir::Writable and the above file still doesn't show up. What am I doing wrong?
