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, Mac OS X, KDE and GNOME, these static
functions will call the native file dialog when possible.</p>
<pre class="cpp">
fileName <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="type">QFileDialog</span><span class="operator">.</span><a href="qfiledialog.html#getOpenFileName">getOpenFileName</a>(<span class="keyword">this</span><span class="operator">,</span>
tr(<span class="string">"Open Image"</span>)<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"/home/jana"</span><span class="operator">,</span> tr(<span class="string">"Image Files (*.png *.jpg *.bmp)"</span>));
</pre>
<p>In the above example, a modal QFileDialog is created using a
static function. The dialog initially displays the contents of the
"/home/jana" directory, and displays files matching the patterns
given in the string "Image Files (*.png *.jpg *.bmp)". The parent
of the file dialog is set to <i>this</i>, and the window title is
set to "Open Image".</p>
<p>If you want to use multiple filters, separate each one with
<i>two</i> semicolons. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="string">"Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg);;Text files (*.txt);;XML files (*.xml)"</span>
</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 class="cpp">
<span class="type">QFileDialog</span> dialog(<span class="keyword">this</span>);
dialog<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qfiledialog.html#fileMode-prop">setFileMode</a>(<span class="type">QFileDialog</span><span class="operator">.</span>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>The <a href="qfiledialog.html#fileMode-prop">fileMode</a>
property contains the mode of operation for the dialog; this
indicates what types of objects the user is expected to select. Use
<a href="qfiledialog.html#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>() to set
the dialog's file filter. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
dialog<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qfiledialog.html#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>(tr(<span class="string">"Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)"</span>));
</pre>
<p>In the above example, the filter is set to <tt>"Images (*.png
*.xpm *.jpg)"</tt>, 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#setNameFilters">setNameFilters</a>(). Use
<a href="qfiledialog.html#selectNameFilter">selectNameFilter</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">List</a> and <a href="qfiledialog.html#ViewMode-enum">Detail</a>. <a href="qfiledialog.html#ViewMode-enum">List</a> presents the contents of
the current directory as a list of file and directory names.
<a href="qfiledialog.html#ViewMode-enum">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 class="cpp">
dialog<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qfiledialog.html#viewMode-prop">setViewMode</a>(<span class="type">QFileDialog</span><span class="operator">.</span>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 class="cpp">
<span class="type"><a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a></span> fileNames;
<span class="keyword">if</span> (dialog<span class="operator">.</span>exec())
fileNames <span class="operator">=</span> dialog<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qfiledialog.html#selectedFiles">selectedFiles</a>();
</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 <i>parent</i> 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.</p>
<p>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. To ensure a native file
dialog, <a href="qfiledialog.html#Option-enum">ShowDirsOnly</a>
must be set.</p>
<p>On Windows, Mac OS X and Symbian^3, this static function will
use the native file dialog and not a <a href="qfiledialog.html">QFileDialog</a>. On Windows CE, if the device
has no native file dialog, a <a href="qfiledialog.html">QFileDialog</a> will be used.</p>
<p>On 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>On Windows the dialog will spin a blocking modal event loop that
will not dispatch any QTimers, and if <i>parent</i> is not 0 then
it will position the dialog just below the parent's title bar.</p>
<p>On Symbian^3 the <i>options</i> parameter is only used to define
if the native file dialog is used.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> Do not delete <i>parent</i> during the execution

<p>The dialog's caption is set to <i>caption</i>. If <i>caption</i>
is not specified then a default caption will be used.</p>
<p>On Windows, Mac OS X and Symbian^3, this static function will
use the native file dialog and not a <a href="qfiledialog.html">QFileDialog</a>.</p>
<p>On Windows the dialog will spin a blocking modal event loop that
will not dispatch any QTimers, and if <i>parent</i> is not 0 then
it will position the dialog just below the parent's title bar.</p>
<p>On 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>. 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><b>Note:</b> If you want to iterate over the list of files, you
should iterate over a copy. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type"><a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a></span> list <span class="operator">=</span> files;

<p>On Symbian^3 the parameter <i>selectedFilter</i> has no meaning
