How to hide the content from a directory in QFileSystemModel

[Laurent Schall]

Hi,

I am using the QFileSystemModel model data model for the local filesystem.

I would like to hide the content from a specific directory - not the name of the directory itself, but solely it content (files and sub-directories). I assume that setting a filter is not going to work, so that I will have to subclass some of the functions inherited QAbstractItemModel.

What would be the best way to archive that.

Thanks,
Laurent

@Laurent-Schall
You can subclass from QFileSystemModel, which should be used to achieve this, so why think about dropping down to QAbstractItemModel?

[VRonin]

subclass QFileSystemModel, and reimplement both rowCount() and hasChildren() to rerurn 0/false for the foder you want to hide the contents of

@VRonin said in How to hide the content from a directory in QFileSystemModel:

subclass QFileSystemModel

Or subclass QIdentityProxyModel, modify it as you want (i.e. what the fellows above suggested) and attach it to the standard QFileSystemModel.
