Tell QFileDialog some files should not show on the list or indicate the files should not select on mac mojave(icloud)

tham

When using QFileDialog to select the files on iCloud, sometimes there are some files cannot select, do we have a way to

find out which file cannot select(syncing etc)?
hide the files cannot select?

I don't know whether you will get your answer, but I think you should state whether you are using the native or the Qt QFileDialog?

Hi
What do you mean "by cannot select" ?
Is that "Should not select ?"

In any case if it's about filtering then you can do like with other views and use a proxy

@mrjj said in QFileDialog do not show or indicate the file cannot select on mac mojave(icloud):

Is that "Should not select ?"

Yes, you are correct, thanks, adjust the title, should be easier to understand.
Do you know how to detect the file on iCloud already synced or not?On Mac mojave?Thanks

Hi
Im not sure it works on all macOS versions but does
brctl log --wait --shorten
show anything useful?
We could run that tool via QProcess for an easy solution not involving using native code.
