QFileSystemModel and USB drive

samdol

Hi,
I created a QTreeView using QFileSystemModel to browse the directory structure of drives. When I connect my usb drive to my computer, the explorer shows new drive letter. But the treeView does not show any changes. It did not show my Usb drive. I had to close my program and run again to show it. Is it a bug or how can I fix this problem?

Hi! It's QTBUG-18729. It has been fixed in Qt 5.9.

Do I have to apply patch for both files? Which one should be applied first?

"0001..." is the first, "0002..." the second. These patches are back-ported for 5.6 LTS. You need to apply both of them.

Is there any order that I have to follow. Can I apply any patch first?

@samdol Didn't @Wieland clearly say in which order you need to apply the patches?

Thank you for the advise. I appreciate it.

@samdol Can you not just wait for the 5.9 release and then update? Might be easier than applying patches.
