Please use code tags around code, it's easier to read.

How do you define applicationDirPath? Does QML print any warnings?

Hi @sush123 ,i guess you need to set "folder" path of fileDialog

here is a sample code, in which i set 3 different folder paths please have look into.If iam wrong with my understanding please do correct me.

  //Use this variable to set the path of the folder, change it according to your path
    property string folderPath: "C:/DummyFolder"
    property int index: -1

    FileDialog {
        id: fileDialog

        title: "Please choose a file"
        onAccepted: {
            console.log("You chose: " + fileDialog.fileUrls)
            fileDialog.close()
        }
        onRejected: {
            console.log("Canceled")
            fileDialog.close()
        }
    }


    Button {
        id: changeButton

        text: "Open"

        onClicked: {

         //You can set the path of the folderPath here also
         // folderPath = "C:/DummyFolder1/Images" etc etc
            if(parent.index > 2)
                parent.index = -1;

            parent.index++;

            switch(parent.index) {
            case 0:
                fileDialog.folder = fileDialog.shortcuts.documents
                break;
            case 1:
                fileDialog.folder = fileDialog.shortcuts.desktop
                break;
            case 2:
                fileDialog.folder = "file:///" + parent.folderPath
                break;
            }

            fileDialog.open()
        }
    }

works fine with below solution :

folder: StandardPaths.writableLocation(StandardPaths.DocumentsLocation) +"/gui/Import"
