<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> fileName = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(this,
tr("Open Image"), "/home/jana", tr("Image Files (*.png *.jpg *.bmp)"));</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> "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 dialog(this);
dialog.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>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> dialog.setNameFilter(tr("Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)"));</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> dialog.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 (dialog.exec())
fileNames = dialog.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>
