QDir doesn't see some files

[Sucharek]

Hello, I'm making a sorting system, but I came across a problem.
When I'm sorting the files, some don't get picked up by QDir.
The files are some shortcuts - HP Smart, Arduino IDE, Spotify. These don't get picked up by QDir.
I'm getting the files like this:

QDir downloads(mainPath);
qDebug() << downloads.entryList(extentions /*.lnk files*/, QDir::Files); //picks up everyting except the shortcuts I listed

Am I doing something wrong?

@Sucharek said in QDir doesn't see some files:

qDebug() << downloads.entryList(extentions /.lnk files/, QDir::Files); //picks up everyting except the shortcuts I listed

Try it with:

downloads.entryList(extentions, QDir::Files | QDir::System);

From the documentation, the QDir::System filter includes

List system files (on Unix, FIFOs, sockets and device files are included; on Windows, .lnk files are included)

Also, QFileInfo might be useful to you in handling/opening the .lnk files.
