Basically KDirModel is one layer above KDirLister, it encapsulates it. If you use KDirModel, you shouldn't have to use KDirLister API directly. >>> Which should show the node for "/home" as the root, but is instead giving me a flat listing of all the child nodes without "/home" as the root. >> >> Oh, hmm, that's not how setRootIndex works (that's a *view* feature, we can't change that). >> I changed the model to have one more node for "/", while I see now that what you want is that it *always* shows a root node even when the root is another directory. > > Yeah that was my intent with the above. How come it doesn't work in the view for `file:///home/myuser` but it works for `file:///`? I thought the plan was to always show a tree that starts at the root, like iirc the old "Root" tab in konqueror-kde4, or the Root tree view in dolphin. This is why KDirModel::openUrl("file:///home/myuser", ShowRoot) shows "/" | - home | - myuser > In any case, the code here you provided works great for at least `file:///` and that gets us quite far. How much of a rework would getting it to work with subdirectories (like `file:///home/myuser`) take? No idea. I'll work on it and let you know how much work it was :) REPOSITORY R241 KIO REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D25315 To: dfaure, stefanocrocco, elvisangelaccio, meven, apol Cc: rrosch, kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, cblack, GB_2, michaelh, ngraham, bruns
