Problem with QFileDialog

QBall

First and for most I am new to Qt so my apologies if I use this forum incorrectly or place things in the wrong place (If I do please tell me and I will do my best to correct it).

I seam to be having an issue with QFileDialog

I have a method inside a class (which inherits QMainWindow) which gets the name of a file to save to. My code is shown below

@fileSave = new QFileDialog(this, Qt::Sheet);
fileSave->setNameFilter("PDF-Files (*.pdf)");
fileSave->setAcceptMode(QFileDialog::AcceptSave);
connect(fileSave, SIGNAL(finished(int)), this, SLOT(saveAccepted(int)));
fileSave->show();@

This works until the user clicks save or cancel in which I get a EXC_BAD_ACCESS Signal.

I am using the stock standard 4.6 install on Mac Os X (I am running Snow Leopard with all the updates).

The problem does not occur if I remove the line: fileSave->setAcceptMode(QFileDialog::AcceptSave); but then it displays an open dialog.

My apologies if this is something small or I am doing something very stupid.

Thanks

have you tried the static method QFileDialog::getSaveFileName()? I use this at most when i ned to get a file or directory. It also has the native OS - Style

QBall

Thanks for your quick reply

Yes I have tried that and it did have the native style (which is preferable) but it did not use the sheet look (even when I used Qt:Sheet). I need the open dialog to be associated with the window on Mac.

I will continue to look at how to get the static methods to use the sheets though.

I want to show a dialog to user to select a file/directory in qt. I tried using QFileDialog to get it, but either i can set file mode or directory mode, could not able to set both. if I set QFileDialog::Directory as file mode it shows directories as well as files, but could not able to select any file. i need solution for selecting file as well as directory in the QFileDialog or help me with alternate way....

Hi,

You might think for setting the file mode. There are various modes that you can set in:

enum QFileDialog::FileMode
This enum is used to indicate what the user may select in the file dialog; i.e. what the dialog will return if the user clicks OK.
Constant Value Description
QFileDialog::AnyFile 0 The name of a file, whether it exists or not.
QFileDialog::ExistingFile 1 The name of a single existing file.
QFileDialog::Directory 2 The name of a directory. Both files and directories are displayed.
QFileDialog::ExistingFiles 3 The names of zero or more existing files.

"Qt documentation link":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qfiledialog.html#FileMode-enum

Example:
@
QFileDialog dialog;
dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::AnyFile);
@
