Problem with copying a folder in a specific path

Copy paste source code.
If you designate a specific folder as the copy destination, only the contents within the specific folder are copied. What I wanted was to copy the folder.

folder
A
-> A_1
-> A_2
-> a_1.txt
-> a_2.txt
B

For example
There are two folders, A and B. Folder B is empty and you want to copy folder A into folder B.
If I run it with the source I made
A
-> A_1
-> A_2
-> a_1.txt
-> a_2.txt
B
-> A_1
-> A_2
-> a_1.txt
-> a_2.txt

It shows results like this.
The result I want is
A
-> A_1
-> A_2
-> a_1.txt
-> a_2.txt
B
A
-> A_1
-> A_2
-> a_1.txt
-> a_2.txt

I want results like this. How can I modify the code to get the result I want?

@IknowQT Is really not that difficult to do (I assume that my assumption of what you want to achieve is correct, as you still did not clarify that).
First: create A inside B and then apply the code from the link using B/A as toDir.

@IknowQT said in Problem with copying a folder in a specific path:

I want results like this

Like what?
Do you want to have A as subfolder in B?
Maybe https://forum.qt.io/topic/105993/copy-folder-qt-c/5 helps.

@jsulm

My code is based on the code you linked. That doesn't show the result I want

It just copies the contents of the folder
