Hi I've hitten a 'fun' corner where I found a surprising but documented feature of QFileSystemModel and discovered how it interacted with certain QSortFilterProxyModel configurations and QTreeView interactions
Assume the following: Create a QSortFilterProxyModel with setRecursiveFilteringEnabled(true); create a folder hierachy under /home/yourusername/somefolder: folder1 \-- foo folder2 \-- bar set the the filesystem model as source on the proxy model set the the root path on the filesystemmodel to /home/yourusername/somefolder set the treeview root to the root item mapped to the proxymodel Try set 'foo' as a filter in the QSFPM and see just folder1 \-- foo in the view Try set 'home' as a filter in the QSFPM and see the full view expanded. This seems to be because 'home' matches the 'home' in the path (because setRootPath on QFileSystemModel doesn't change the model root node, but just where the file gatherer is running; and also why you need to both set the root path on the QFileSystemModel and the mapped index as the root on the QTreeView) Does anyone know a workaround or something else I have missed ? I guess a SubtreeFilteringProxyModel could be what I'm looking for, but didn't directly find it. Any pointers anyone? /Sune _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
