    I am busy writing a disk editor for a file system not recognized by windows.
    How would I go about creating a Windows Explorer type window with folder icons in QT? (See image)
    I mean I can get creative but will appreciate some ideas or maybe someone has already done it.

      Hi
      https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfilesystemmodel.html
      and a Tree view in icon mode will get you a good beginning.

        I will have a look at that thanks. I was thinking treeview as that will be very easy, but I'd prefer to have a window layout with icons.

          Hi
          well i used
          https://arunpkqt.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/custom-filesystemmodel-display/
          since i had issues with QFileSystemModel in regards to the top item.
          You could maybe use ListWidget and code from this model to get the dir and files.

            Ok, I managed to get it working. I just used QListView components.
