    I am trying to create a custom file dialog where I need to show only the allowd file types in the file dialog view . In windows , setting namefilter worked whereas in Mac OS , unsupported files are disabled. Is there a way that only allowed file types to be shown in view for Mac OS ?

      @haripriya said in custom file dialog:

      setting namefilter

      What is this filter and where do you set it?
      You should be more specific.

        am trying to set the name filters like
        filedialog->setNameFilters(fileTypeFilters);

        Am setting this in the constructor of my custom file dialog derived from QFiledialog

        The unsupported files are displayed but in grey

          @haripriya Not sure, can be that this is default behaviour on MacOS.

              @J-Hilk
              Okay got it.

              Is there a way I can restrict the select all operation to only the allowed files types as we observe in native file dialog ?
              Rather than including all the files ?
