QFileDiaolg question about extensions

[Perdrix]

Will QFileDialog handle "double-barrelled" extensions such as .tar.gz, or .fits.fz in a name filter.

For example: "Fits files (*.fit, *.fit.fz, *.fts, *.fts.fz, *.fits, *.fits.fz)"

Thanks

I don't know, but wouldn't it depend on whether you are using the Qt version or the native one? And possibly in the latter case by OS? I'm assuming/guessing the native one gets passed and handles the filtering itself?

Why not simply try it out?

[Perdrix]

It's often quicker to ask - if no-one knows then I will of course try it.

Some platforms or Qt versions may treat .gz as the primary extension, so the dialog might not match files as expected unless each full extension is written out.
