Remove current directory from selectedFolder

JM baubet

Hello,
I use a FolderDialog to choose a directory.
On return I would like to have only the path of the directory relative to the folder specified in input.

how to remove the shortcuts.home contained in the returned URL

 FolderDialog {
        id: folderDialog
        currentFolder: shortcuts.home
        onAccepted: {
            console.log("non : " +  selectedFolder)
        }

in my case :
shortcuts.home = "file:///Volumes/Externe/Dev/Qt6/QtQuick/AIMLog_2/"

selectedFolder = "file:///Volumes/Externe/Dev/Qt6/QtQuick/AIMLog_2/icons"

I want only "./icons"

@JM-baubet that can be easily found in the Qt Creator help or google but here it is: the module you need to import is QtCore.
Note that you need to look at the doc of StandardPaths to know how to use it, in order to port from shortcuts.

I don't know about QML but you are in JavaScript here, right? So that has https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace, something like:

folder = selectedFolder.replace(shortcuts.home, "")

@JonB I try this :

FolderDialog {
        id: folderDialog
        currentFolder: shortcuts.home
        onAccepted: {
            console.log("non : " +  selectedFolder.replace(shortcuts.home, "")
        }

but I have an error : ReferenceError: shortcuts is not defined

@JM-baubet shortcuts is not usable in FolderDialog. Use StandardPaths instead.

@JM-baubet said in Remove current directory from selectedFolder:

but I have an error : ReferenceError: shortcuts is not defined

Like I said, I don't know QML, maybe you have to use currentFolder?
I think that is a separate issue from what @GrecKo has said about what to set currentFolder to.

@GrecKo
I'm sorry but when I add StandardPaths
i have the message : StandardPaths is not defined
Which module should be imported ?

Thank you for your help

import QtCore
...
    FolderDialog {
        id: folderDialog
selectedFolder.toString().replace(Qt.resolvedUrl("./../.."), "")
            alertEvenement.opacity = 0
            // Il faut enregistrer le setting dnas le fichier python
            console.log("./" + selectedFolder.toString().replace(Qt.resolvedUrl("./../.."), ""))
        }
    }
