[elfenliedtopfan5]

Hello and good morning, afternoon,

i am trying to populate a listedit and have done so but what im trying to acomplish and cant seem to be able to do so is i got folders to load but i just want to show the folder name and that is it,

and when folder is selected i want it to save the path to a string but cant seem to get this to work have tried elfen.DirName but this did not produce the desired affect here is what my code looks like currently.

    ELFENLIEDTOPFAN5RES::mGamePath = QString(getenv("TA_GAME_PATH")).replace('\\', '/');
    // cant use for dir derictly create wont let me try adding as dir path derictly.
    ELFENLIEDTOPFAN5RES::UserMapsFolder = QDir::cleanPath(QString("%1/usermaps/").arg(ELFENLIEDTOPFAN5RES::mGamePath));

    QDir elfen(QDir::cleanPath(QString("%1/usermaps/").arg(ELFENLIEDTOPFAN5RES::mGamePath)));

    foreach(QFileInfo var,elfen.entryInfoList())
    {

        ui->listWidget->addItem(var.absoluteFilePath());
    }

but this comes out with the full file path

as shown below.

but trying to get zm_the map name but unable to find the way to do this in QT,
Any Help is much appreciated thanks in advance

First of all, do you know what these ". , ; " are?!
So please use them :)
You get headache from reading this.

@elfenliedtopfan5 said in Listing only the name of a folder in QDir:

ui->listWidget->addItem(var.absoluteFilePath());

If you write var.absoluteFilePath(), how should only the filename be there?
Try var.fileName()

To get a list of your selected items, use
QList<QListWidgetItem *> QListWidget::selectedItems() const
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlistwidget.html#selectedItems

in combination with this signal (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlistwidget.html#itemSelectionChanged)

To only get the name, a simpler way is use QDir::entryList instead of QDir::entryInfoList.
