QFileDialog::getOpenFileName and QFileDialog::getSaveFileName hang on MacOS

floatingWoods

Hello,

I have a major problem with following two functions:

QFileDialog::getOpenFileName
QFileDialog::getSaveFileName

They hang (i.e. pressing the buttons won't close the dialog) on MacOS SnowLeopard. It has already been reported "here":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31486http://

It was reported in May 2013 and is still not fixed. Would you know of any workaround?

Thanks

Hi,

What version of Qt are you using with which version of OS X (10.6.8) ?

floatingWoods

We are running Qt5.1.1, and Snow Leopard. We don't have more details, since that report is from a customer, but we will ask
Thanks

floatingWoods

Ok, just confirmed. It is OS X 10.6.8 v1.1

SGaist

Just to be sure, what version of OS X and which version of Xcode are you using for development ?

floatingWoods

For development, I am using Lion 10.7.3. For the XCode version, I will only be able to confirm in 2 weeks (out of the office until then).
Thanks

i am getting the same issue with Qt 5.1.1 on Mac X.9, i have not tested on previous OS... but the same code using Qt 4.8.5 framework work fine...

this sound as Qt 5.1 issue.. which is really a deal breaker until this is solved!

SGaist

What is your build setup ?

eric_vi

build and test done on X.9 with QTCreator 2.8.1, frameworks QT 5.1.1

that s my qmake

qmake myproject.pro -r -spec macx-clang CONFIG+=debug CONFIG+=x86_64 CONFIG+=declarative_debug CONFIG+=qml_debug

in the project i have
QT += svg
QT += widgets
QT += printsupport
QT += opengl

SGaist

Can you try with 5.2 ?

eric_vi

just tried with 5.2rc1 exact same issue... makes it unusable !

if i use the non native option flag... all is good.. but the dialog sucks

Is this still an issue? On Windows, with Qt 5.3 as of Oct 27 2014, with the following code:

QString selectedFilter {"Comma-separated values (*.csv)"};
QString the_file = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, "Choose output file", current_file, QString {selectedFilter}, &selectedFilter, QFileDialog::DontConfirmOverwrite);

... the Cancel button works, and double-clicking on an existing file in the file dialog works, but typing a file name in the edit box and clicking "Save" does not close the dialog - instead, the focus returns to the edit box and the dialog remains open.
