Hi all,

I need to write a simple app that shows two file trees:
on the left the one on disk in a given root directory, and on the right the same tree how it will look after certain processing will take place (as a pre-flight check).
E.g. I have a source directory like this:

source
    |___.Trashes
    |___A
            |___file1.tiff
            |___file2.tiff
            |___file3.tiff
            |___file4.tiff
    |___B
            |___file1.jpg
            |___file2.jpg
            |___file3.jpg

I now want to copy this tree to a different location following certain rules and want a preview before I actually do anything to the files.
The rules in this case could be:

 * ignore all .Trashes folders
 * zip all tiff files in the same directory.


So as a second tree view for the preview I'd like to have a view that would looks like this:
source
    |___A
            |___file.zip
    |___B
            |___file1.jpg
            |___file2.jpg
            |___file3.jpg

In the original file tree I'd like to colour code the items that will be modified as seen in the second tree view.

My question now is:
Can I harness QFileSystemModel for this or do I need to write my own tree model to get the functionality I need?

I assume I can use QFileSystemModel for the source tree, but not for the preview tree?
Is that correct?
Any other thoughts on this approach before I back myself into a corner :-D

Cheers,
frank
