How do I load all files in a resource directory in one method

[AI_Messiah]

I have a list of files and I couldn't be bothered to get all of their names and what I really want is to be able to load all of them into a canvas.

You may want to read about QDir::entryList()

A resource directory is to be treated like any other directory, just with a ":" in front of the path.

// Specify directory with leading ":"
QDir myDir(":/yourResourceRoot/yourDir");

// Specify selection criteria (empty list if you want all files)
const QStringList sel = QStringList({"*.csv", "*.xlsx"}); 

// read files (and ignore directories) that match selection criteria
QStringList files = myDir.entryList(sel,QDir::Files);

// iterate through file list
foreach(QString filename, files)
{
    // process individual file
}

I thought there would be a way to do it in Javascript. I didn't expect to have to do it in C++.
