Hi Felgo Team,

I try to get the readdir of documents. QtCore is not importable so I would like Felgos FileUtils.

I tried the following:

fileUtils.getAbsolutePathFromUrlString(fileDialog.selectedFiles)

but this is the write dir. Am I wrong or is there no read dir helper?

Regards

Hi,

Generally speaking, the Felgo FileUtils read/write functions can operate on any paths. To make working with default paths easier, Qt offers the C++ QStandardPaths class.

With Felgo FileUtils, you can use these paths from QML. E.g. to get a path to a file in the Documents location you can use FileUtils.storageLocation(FileUtils.DocumentsLocation, "fileName")

The queried paths refer to the QStandardPaths::writableLocation. As an alternative, you can also try the Qt QML StandardPaths feature: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qt-labs-platform-standardpaths.html

Using import QtCore you can e.g. get the Documents folder like this:
property url documentsFolder: StandardPaths.writableLocation(StandardPaths.DocumentsLocation)

Best,
Günther
