QFileDialog::setSidebarUrls() not working

Cesius

Hi everyone,

I am trying to customize sidebars URLs in a non-native file dialog but I couldn't manage it. This is the code:

QFileDialog *m_dialog = new QFileDialog(0, Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);
QList<QUrl> urls;
urls    << QUrl::fromLocalFile(QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::DocumentsLocation).front())
            << QUrl::fromLocalFile(QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::DesktopLocation).front());
m_dialog->setSidebarUrls(urls);
m_dialog->show();

The file dialog is displayed but the sidebars URLs are the default ones. I know the QUrl objects in the list are OK because I used them with QDesktopServices::openUrl() and everything was fine.

After setting the new URLs, the method QFileDialog::sidebarUrls() returns an empty QList<QUrl>.

I have tested this code with Qt 5.3.2 and on both Windows and Mac.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

Current workaround: call setOption(QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog); before setSidebarUrls

I do not see why do you think you use non-native dialog from the code.

From documentation:
"By default, a platform-native file dialog will be used if the platform has one."

And there is no proper option set.
