QDir remove function

Allman 2

Hello QT- Developer,

so in my HOME-Dir exist a folder which content should be deleted.

It works fine when I debug through the code, but without debugging all files still exist.
Well I have no idea why? Do you have some advice?

Code:
QStringList list;
list << ".png" << ".jpg" << ".gif" << ".svg";
QDir dir(path);
dir.setNameFilters(list);
dir.setFilter(QDir::Files);
foreach(QString dirFile, dir.entryList())
{
dir.remove(dirFile);
}

THX ;)

Hi @Allman-2,

How is path being set? I would think its more likely an issue with that than the code you've shown... but that's just a guess.

First thing I'd do is add some debugging. Something like:

qDebug() << QDir::currentPath()
qDebug() << path;
QDir dir(path);
qDebug() << dir.absolutePath();
dir.setNameFilters(list);
dir.setFilter(QDir::Files);
foreach(QString dirFile, dir.entryList())
{
    qDebug() << dirFile;
    const bool removed = dir.remove(dirFile);
    qDebug() << removed;
}

Cheers.

Hello,
yes now I got the answer, because at that time the QDir is created there is now contend in
this Path. There is a delay time.

THX t all:
