Qt5.0.1 fileDialog is giving warning should I really care about it ?

[Immii]

if I call windows filedialog to get directories it says this warning
Invalid parameter 'Directories' not found in 'All Files (*)'."

I do not understand what parameter i am supply is invalid
locationDialog->getExistingDirectory(m_window, "Destination", "Folder");

i never had problem with qt4 with almost same call

Hi, Maybe post your code as well, but maybe it has to do with the setting of the "seek" directory where the fileopen should start be looking.

I've got the same warning in some code. After further research it looks like a bug in Qt code introduce in Qt 5 :

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-30001?page=com.atlassian.jirafisheyeplugin:fisheye-issuepanel

Thank you for pointing me to that QTBUT-30001, seems like I dont need to put my more time to figure out what i am doing wrong.
I see it is coming in 5.0.3 so i will wait for that to upgrade.

I ran across this same warning:

@selectNameFilter: Invalid parameter 'Directories' not found in 'All Files (*)'.@

Previous users cited that the fix should be delivered in Qt 5.0.3 I am using
Qt 5.1.1.

Snippet causing the warning:

@QFileDialog dialog(this);
dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::Directory);@

Warning removed by updating to:

@QFileDialog dialog(this);
dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::Directory);
dialog.setNameFilter("");@

I do not understand this warning, "QFileDialog::AllFiles" is used with "setFileMode", correct? Why would you ever select a name filter when using a mode to select a directory? Is there functionality to filter directory names?

i guess the filter should look like this:
@
"All Files (.)" //instead of "(*)"
@

The solution for eliminating the warning message when using "getExistingDirectory" is to use the options:
QFileDialog::ShowDirsOnly | QFileDialog::HideNameFilterDetails
