Solved QFileSystemModel and QML TableView shows root
-
Hi guys,
I'm learning QtQuick and QML. And try to explore filesystem on PC. I used FolderListModel from Qt.labs.folderlistmodel and TableView. It works fine. But
Note: This type is made available by importing the Qt.labs.folderlistmodel module. Elements in the Qt.labs module are not guaranteed to remain compatible in future versions.
Then I have tried to use QFileSystemModel.
main.cpp:
QFileSystemModel *model = new QFileSystemModel; model->setRootPath(QDir::homePath()); engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("mypath", QDir::homePath()); engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("dirModel", model);
And
main.qml
TableView { model: dirModel TableViewColumn { role: "fileName" title: "Name" } TableViewColumn { role: "size" title: "Size" } }
mypath
shows/home/myuser
path. It's expected. ButTableView
shows root of file system (it's just/
on Linux).
Could somebody help and explain how to makeTableView
show the correct folder?P.S. There is example of QML TreeView. It has
rootIndex
which allow to set listed folder:
main.cpp:
QFileSystemModel *fsm = new DisplayFileSystemModel(&engine); fsm->setRootPath(QDir::homePath()); fsm->setResolveSymlinks(true); engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("fileSystemModel", fsm); engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("rootPathIndex", fsm->index(fsm->rootPath()));
main.qml:
TreeView { model: fileSystemModel rootIndex: rootPathIndex
How to get round that issue?
Many thanks advance!

@maidmantis
setRootIndex
or in case of QMLTreeView
rootPathIndex
is responsible to do make it work which is not provided inTableView
so it wont work in latter case.To explore the FileSystem it is best to use
TreeView
so that the hierarchical file system can be displayed.
