Description</h2><p>The QFileDialog class provides a dialog that allow users to select files or directories.</p>
<p>The QFileDialog class enables a user to traverse the file system in order to select one or many files or a directory.</p>
<p>The easiest way to create a QFileDialog is to use the static functions. On Windows, these static functions will call the native Windows file dialog, and on Mac OS X these static function will call the native Mac OS X file dialog.</p>
<pre>
    QString s = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(
                    this,
                    "Choose a file",
                    "/home",
                    "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)");
</pre>
<p>In the above example, a modal QFileDialog is created using a static function. The dialog initially displays the contents of the "/home" directory, and displays files matching the patterns given in the string "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)". The parent of the file dialog is set to <i>this</i>, and the dialog is named "open file dialog". The caption at the top of file dialog is set to "Choose a file" instead of the default.</p>
<p>If you want to use multiple filters, separate each one with <i>two</i> semicolons. For example:</p>
<pre>
    "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg);;Text files (*.txt);;XML files (*.xml)"
</pre>
<p>You can create your own QFileDialog without using the static functions. By calling <a href="qfiledialog.html#fileMode-prop">setFileMode</a>(), you can specify what the user must select in the dialog:</p>
<pre>
      QFileDialog *fd = new QFileDialog(this);
      fd-&gt;setFileMode(QFileDialog.AnyFile);
</pre>
<p>In the above example, the mode of the file dialog is set to <a href="qfiledialog.html#FileMode-enum">AnyFile</a>, meaning that the user can select any file, or even specify a file that doesn't exist. This mode is useful for creating a "Save As" file dialog. Use <a href="qfiledialog.html#FileMode-enum">ExistingFile</a> if the user must select an existing file, or <a href="qfiledialog.html#FileMode-enum">Directory</a> if only a directory may be selected. See the <a href="qfiledialog.html#FileMode-enum">QFileDialog.FileMode</a> enum for the complete list of modes.</p>
<p>You can retrieve the dialog's mode with <a href="qfiledialog-qt3.html#mode">mode</a>(). Use <a href="qfiledialog.html#setFilter">setFilter</a>() to set the dialog's file filter. For example:</p>
<pre>
      fd-&gt;setFilter( "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)" );
</pre>
<p>In the above example, the filter is set to "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)", this means that only files with the extension <tt>png</tt>, <tt>xpm</tt>, or <tt>jpg</tt> will be shown in the QFileDialog. You can apply several filters by using <a href="qfiledialog.html#setFilters">setFilters</a>(). Use <a href="qfiledialog.html#selectFilter">selectFilter</a>() to select one of the filters you've given as the file dialog's default filter.</p>
<p>The file dialog has two view modes: <a href="qfiledialog.html#ViewMode-enum">QFileDialog.List</a> and <a href="qfiledialog.html#ViewMode-enum">QFileDialog.Detail</a>. <a href="qfiledialog.html#ViewMode-enum">QFileDialog.List</a> presents the contents of the current directory as a list of file and directory names. <a href="qfiledialog.html#ViewMode-enum">QFileDialog.Detail</a> also displays a list of file and directory names, but provides additional information alongside each name, such as the file size and modification date. Set the mode with <a href="qfiledialog.html#viewMode-prop">setViewMode</a>().</p>
<pre>
      fd-&gt;setViewMode(QFileDialog.Detail);
</pre>
<p>The last important function you will need to use when creating your own file dialog is <a href="qfiledialog.html#selectedFiles">selectedFiles</a>().</p>
<pre>
      QStringList fileNames;
      if (fileDialog-&gt;exec())
          fileNames = fileDialog-&gt;selectedFiles();
</pre>
<p>In the above example, a modal file dialog is created and shown. If the user clicked OK, the file they selected is put in <tt>fileName</tt>.</p>
<p>The dialog's working directory can be set with <a href="qfiledialog.html#setDirectory">setDirectory</a>(). Each file in the current directory can be selected using the <a href="qfiledialog.html#selectFile">selectFile</a>() function.</p>
<p>The <a href="dialogs-standarddialogs.html">Standard Dialogs</a> example shows how to use QFileDialog as well as other built-in Qt dialogs.</p>

<p>This function creates a modal file dialog with the given <i>parent</i> widget. If the parent is not 0, the dialog will be shown centered over the parent widget.</p>
<p>The dialog's working directory is set to <i>dir</i>, and the caption is set to <i>caption</i>. Either of these may be an empty string in which case the current directory and a default caption will be used respectively. The <i>options</i> argument holds various options about how to run the dialog, see the <a href="qfiledialog.html#Option-enum">QFileDialog.Option</a> enum for more information on the flags you can pass.</p>
<p>Under Unix/X11, the normal behavior of the file dialog is to resolve and follow symlinks. For example, if <tt>/usr/tmp</tt> is a symlink to <tt>/var/tmp</tt>, the file dialog will change to <tt>/var/tmp</tt> after entering <tt>/usr/tmp</tt>. If <i>options</i> includes <a href="qfiledialog.html#Option-enum">DontResolveSymlinks</a>, the file dialog will treat symlinks as regular directories.</p>
<p>Note that on Windows the dialog will spin a blocking modal event loop that will not dispatch any QTimers, and if parent is not 0 then it will position the dialog just under the parent's title bar.</p>
