[static] QString QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(QWidget *parent = nullptr, const QString &caption = QString(), const QString &dir = QString(), QFileDialog::Options options = ShowDirsOnly)

This is a convenience static function that will return an existing directory selected by the user.

QString dir = QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(this, tr("Open Directory"),
                                                "/home",
                                                QFileDialog::ShowDirsOnly
                                                | QFileDialog::DontResolveSymlinks);

This function creates a modal file dialog with the given parent widget. If parent is not nullptr, the dialog will be shown centered over the parent widget.

The dialog's working directory is set to dir, and the caption is set to caption. Either of these may be an empty string in which case the current directory and a default caption will be used respectively.

The options argument holds various options about how to run the dialog, see the QFileDialog::Option enum for more information on the flags you can pass. To ensure a native file dialog, ShowDirsOnly must be set.

On Windows and macOS, this static function will use the native file dialog and not a QFileDialog. However, the native Windows file dialog does not support displaying files in the directory chooser. You need to pass DontUseNativeDialog to display files using a QFileDialog.

Note that the macOS native file dialog does not show a title bar.

On Unix/X11, the normal behavior of the file dialog is to resolve and follow symlinks. For example, if /usr/tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp, the file dialog will change to /var/tmp after entering /usr/tmp. If options includes DontResolveSymlinks, the file dialog will treat symlinks as regular directories.

On Windows, the dialog will spin a blocking modal event loop that will not dispatch any QTimers, and if parent is not nullptr then it will position the dialog just below the parent's title bar.

See also getOpenFileName(), getOpenFileNames(), and getSaveFileName().

[static, since 5.2] QUrl QFileDialog::getExistingDirectoryUrl(QWidget *parent = nullptr, const QString &caption = QString(), const QUrl &dir = QUrl(), QFileDialog::Options options = ShowDirsOnly, const QStringList &supportedSchemes = QStringList())

This is a convenience static function that will return an existing directory selected by the user. If the user presses Cancel, it returns an empty url.

The function is used similarly to QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(). In particular parent, caption, dir and options are used in the exact same way.

The main difference with QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory() comes from the ability offered to the user to select a remote directory. That's why the return type and the type of dir is QUrl.

The supportedSchemes argument allows to restrict the type of URLs the user will be able to select. It is a way for the application to declare the protocols it will support to fetch the file content. An empty list means that no restriction is applied (the default). Supported for local files ("file" scheme) is implicit and always enabled; it is not necessary to include it in the restriction.

When possible, this static function will use the native file dialog and not a QFileDialog. On platforms which don't support selecting remote files, Qt will allow to select only local files.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

See also getExistingDirectory(), getOpenFileUrl(), getOpenFileUrls(), and getSaveFileUrl().

[static, since 5.13] void QFileDialog::getOpenFileContent(const QString &nameFilter, const std::function<void (const QString &, const QByteArray &)> &fileOpenCompleted)

This is a convenience static function that will return the content of a file selected by the user.

This function is used to access local files on Qt for WebAssembly, where the web sandbox places restrictions on how such access may happen. Its implementation will make the browser display a native file dialog, where the user makes the file selection based on the parameter nameFilter.

It can also be used on other platforms, where it will fall back to using QFileDialog.

The function is asynchronous and returns immediately. The fileOpenCompleted callback will be called when a file has been selected and its contents have been read into memory.

auto fileContentReady = [](const QString &fileName, const QByteArray &fileContent) {
    if (fileName.isEmpty()) {
        // No file was selected
    } else {
        // Use fileName and fileContent
    }
};
QFileDialog::getOpenFileContent("Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)",  fileContentReady);

This function was introduced in Qt 5.13.

[static] QString QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(QWidget *parent = nullptr, const QString &caption = QString(), const QString &dir = QString(), const QString &filter = QString(), QString *selectedFilter = nullptr, QFileDialog::Options options = Options())

This is a convenience static function that returns an existing file selected by the user. If the user presses Cancel, it returns a null string.

QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open File"),
                                                "/home",
                                                tr("Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)"));

The function creates a modal file dialog with the given parent widget. If parent is not nullptr, the dialog will be shown centered over the parent widget.

The file dialog's working directory will be set to dir. If dir includes a file name, the file will be selected. Only files that match the given filter are shown. The filter selected is set to selectedFilter. The parameters dir, selectedFilter, and filter may be empty strings. If you want multiple filters, separate them with ';;', for example:

"Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg);;Text files (*.txt);;XML files (*.xml)"

The options argument holds various options about how to run the dialog, see the QFileDialog::Option enum for more information on the flags you can pass.

The dialog's caption is set to caption. If caption is not specified then a default caption will be used.

On Windows, and macOS, this static function will use the native file dialog and not a QFileDialog. Note that the macOS native file dialog does not show a title bar.

On Windows the dialog will spin a blocking modal event loop that will not dispatch any QTimers, and if parent is not nullptr then it will position the dialog just below the parent's title bar.

On Unix/X11, the normal behavior of the file dialog is to resolve and follow symlinks. For example, if /usr/tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp, the file dialog will change to /var/tmp after entering /usr/tmp. If options includes DontResolveSymlinks, the file dialog will treat symlinks as regular directories.

[static] QStringList QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(QWidget *parent = nullptr, const QString &caption = QString(), const QString &dir = QString(), const QString &filter = QString(), QString *selectedFilter = nullptr, QFileDialog::Options options = Options())

This is a convenience static function that will return one or more existing files selected by the user.

QStringList files = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(
                        this,
                        "Select one or more files to open",
                        "/home",
                        "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)");

This function creates a modal file dialog with the given parent widget. If parent is not nullptr, the dialog will be shown centered over the parent widget.

The file dialog's working directory will be set to dir. If dir includes a file name, the file will be selected. The filter is set to filter so that only those files which match the filter are shown. The filter selected is set to selectedFilter. The parameters dir, selectedFilter and filter may be empty strings. If you need multiple filters, separate them with ';;', for instance:

"Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg);;Text files (*.txt);;XML files (*.xml)"

The dialog's caption is set to caption. If caption is not specified then a default caption will be used.

On Windows, and macOS, this static function will use the native file dialog and not a QFileDialog. Note that the macOS native file dialog does not show a title bar.

On Windows the dialog will spin a blocking modal event loop that will not dispatch any QTimers, and if parent is not nullptr then it will position the dialog just below the parent's title bar.

[static, since 5.2] QUrl QFileDialog::getOpenFileUrl(QWidget *parent = nullptr, const QString &caption = QString(), const QUrl &dir = QUrl(), const QString &filter = QString(), QString *selectedFilter = nullptr, QFileDialog::Options options = Options(), const QStringList &supportedSchemes = QStringList())

This is a convenience static function that returns an existing file selected by the user. If the user presses Cancel, it returns an empty url.

The function is used similarly to QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(). In particular parent, caption, dir, filter, selectedFilter and options are used in the exact same way.

The main difference with QFileDialog::getOpenFileName() comes from the ability offered to the user to select a remote file. That's why the return type and the type of dir is QUrl.

The supportedSchemes argument allows to restrict the type of URLs the user will be able to select. It is a way for the application to declare the protocols it will support to fetch the file content. An empty list means that no restriction is applied (the default). Supported for local files ("file" scheme) is implicit and always enabled; it is not necessary to include it in the restriction.

[static, since 5.2] QList<QUrl> QFileDialog::getOpenFileUrls(QWidget *parent = nullptr, const QString &caption = QString(), const QUrl &dir = QUrl(), const QString &filter = QString(), QString *selectedFilter = nullptr, QFileDialog::Options options = Options(), const QStringList &supportedSchemes = QStringList())

This is a convenience static function that will return one or more existing files selected by the user. If the user presses Cancel, it returns an empty list.

The function is used similarly to QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(). In particular parent, caption, dir, filter, selectedFilter and options are used in the exact same way.

The main difference with QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames() comes from the ability offered to the user to select remote files. That's why the return type and the type of dir are respectively QList<QUrl> and QUrl.

The supportedSchemes argument allows to restrict the type of URLs the user will be able to select. It is a way for the application to declare the protocols it will support to fetch the file content. An empty list means that no restriction is applied (the default). Supported for local files ("file" scheme) is implicit and always enabled; it is not necessary to include it in the restriction.

[static] QString QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(QWidget *parent = nullptr, const QString &caption = QString(), const QString &dir = QString(), const QString &filter = QString(), QString *selectedFilter = nullptr, QFileDialog::Options options = Options())

This is a convenience static function that will return a file name selected by the user. The file does not have to exist.

It creates a modal file dialog with the given parent widget. If parent is not nullptr, the dialog will be shown centered over the parent widget.

QString fileName = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, tr("Save File"),
                           "/home/jana/untitled.png",
                           tr("Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)"));

The file dialog's working directory will be set to dir. If dir includes a file name, the file will be selected. Only files that match the filter are shown. The filter selected is set to selectedFilter. The parameters dir, selectedFilter, and filter may be empty strings. Multiple filters are separated with ';;'. For instance:

"Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg);;Text files (*.txt);;XML files (*.xml)"

The options argument holds various options about how to run the dialog, see the QFileDialog::Option enum for more information on the flags you can pass.

The default filter can be chosen by setting selectedFilter to the desired value.

The dialog's caption is set to caption. If caption is not specified, a default caption will be used.

On Windows, and macOS, this static function will use the native file dialog and not a QFileDialog.

On Windows the dialog will spin a blocking modal event loop that will not dispatch any QTimers, and if parent is not nullptr then it will position the dialog just below the parent's title bar. On macOS, with its native file dialog, the filter argument is ignored.

On Unix/X11, the normal behavior of the file dialog is to resolve and follow symlinks. For example, if /usr/tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp, the file dialog will change to /var/tmp after entering /usr/tmp. If options includes DontResolveSymlinks the file dialog will treat symlinks as regular directories.

See also getOpenFileName(), getOpenFileNames(), and getExistingDirectory().

[static, since 5.2] QUrl QFileDialog::getSaveFileUrl(QWidget *parent = nullptr, const QString &caption = QString(), const QUrl &dir = QUrl(), const QString &filter = QString(), QString *selectedFilter = nullptr, QFileDialog::Options options = Options(), const QStringList &supportedSchemes = QStringList())

This is a convenience static function that returns a file selected by the user. The file does not have to exist. If the user presses Cancel, it returns an empty url.

The function is used similarly to QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(). In particular parent, caption, dir, filter, selectedFilter and options are used in the exact same way.

The main difference with QFileDialog::getSaveFileName() comes from the ability offered to the user to select a remote file. That's why the return type and the type of dir is QUrl.

The supportedSchemes argument allows to restrict the type of URLs the user will be able to select. It is a way for the application to declare the protocols it will support to save the file content. An empty list means that no restriction is applied (the default). Supported for local files ("file" scheme) is implicit and always enabled; it is not necessary to include it in the restriction.

When possible, this static function will use the native file dialog and not a QFileDialog. On platforms which don't support selecting remote files, Qt will allow to select only local files.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

See also getSaveFileName(), getOpenFileUrl(), getOpenFileUrls(), and getExistingDirectoryUrl().

QStringList QFileDialog::history() const

Returns the browsing history of the filedialog as a list of paths.

See also setHistory().

QAbstractFileIconProvider *QFileDialog::iconProvider() const

Returns the icon provider used by the filedialog.

See also setIconProvider().

QAbstractItemDelegate *QFileDialog::itemDelegate() const

Returns the item delegate used to render the items in the views in the filedialog.

See also setItemDelegate().

QString QFileDialog::labelText(QFileDialog::DialogLabel label) const

Returns the text shown in the filedialog in the specified label.

See also setLabelText().

[since 5.2] QStringList QFileDialog::mimeTypeFilters() const

Returns the MIME type filters that are in operation on this file dialog.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

See also setMimeTypeFilters().

QStringList QFileDialog::nameFilters() const

Returns the file type filters that are in operation on this file dialog.

See also setNameFilters().

void QFileDialog::open(QObject *receiver, const char *member)

This function connects one of its signals to the slot specified by receiver and member. The specific signal depends is filesSelected() if fileMode is ExistingFiles and fileSelected() if fileMode is anything else.

The signal will be disconnected from the slot when the dialog is closed.

QAbstractProxyModel *QFileDialog::proxyModel() const

Returns the proxy model used by the file dialog. By default no proxy is set.

See also setProxyModel().

bool QFileDialog::restoreState(const QByteArray &state)

Restores the dialogs's layout, history and current directory to the state specified.

Typically this is used in conjunction with QSettings to restore the size from a past session.

Returns false if there are errors

[static, since 5.14] void QFileDialog::saveFileContent(const QByteArray &fileContent, const QString &fileNameHint = QString())

This is a convenience static function that saves fileContent to a file, using a file name and location chosen by the user. fileNameHint can be provided to suggest a file name to the user.

This function is used to save files to the local file system on Qt for WebAssembly, where the web sandbox places restrictions on how such access may happen. Its implementation will make the browser display a native file dialog, where the user makes the file selection.

It can also be used on other platforms, where it will fall back to using QFileDialog.

The function is asynchronous and returns immediately.

QByteArray imageData; // obtained from e.g. QImage::save()
QFileDialog::saveFileContent(imageData, "myimage.png"); // with filename hint
// OR
QFileDialog::saveFileContent(imageData); // no filename hint

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

QByteArray QFileDialog::saveState() const

Saves the state of the dialog's layout, history and current directory.

Typically this is used in conjunction with QSettings to remember the size for a future session. A version number is stored as part of the data.

void QFileDialog::selectFile(const QString &filename)

Selects the given filename in the file dialog.

See also selectedFiles().

[since 5.2] void QFileDialog::selectMimeTypeFilter(const QString &filter)

Sets the current MIME type filter.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

void QFileDialog::selectNameFilter(const QString &filter)

Sets the current file type filter. Multiple filters can be passed in filter by separating them with semicolons or spaces.

See also setNameFilter(), setNameFilters(), and selectedNameFilter().

[since 5.2] void QFileDialog::selectUrl(const QUrl &url)

Selects the given url in the file dialog.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

See also selectedUrls().

QStringList QFileDialog::selectedFiles() const

Returns a list of strings containing the absolute paths of the selected files in the dialog. If no files are selected, or the mode is not ExistingFiles or ExistingFile, selectedFiles() contains the current path in the viewport.

See also selectedNameFilter() and selectFile().

[since 5.9] QString QFileDialog::selectedMimeTypeFilter() const

Returns The mimetype of the file that the user selected in the file dialog.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.9.

QString QFileDialog::selectedNameFilter() const

Returns the filter that the user selected in the file dialog.

See also selectedFiles().

[since 5.2] QList<QUrl> QFileDialog::selectedUrls() const

Returns a list of urls containing the selected files in the dialog. If no files are selected, or the mode is not ExistingFiles or ExistingFile, selectedUrls() contains the current path in the viewport.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

See also selectedNameFilter() and selectUrl().

void QFileDialog::setDirectory(const QString &directory)

Sets the file dialog's current directory.

See also directory().

void QFileDialog::setDirectory(const QDir &directory)

This is an overloaded function.

[since 5.2] void QFileDialog::setDirectoryUrl(const QUrl &directory)

Sets the file dialog's current directory url.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

See also directoryUrl() and QUuid.

void QFileDialog::setFilter(QDir::Filters filters)

Sets the filter used by the model to filters. The filter is used to specify the kind of files that should be shown.

See also filter().

void QFileDialog::setHistory(const QStringList &paths)

Sets the browsing history of the filedialog to contain the given paths.

See also history().

void QFileDialog::setIconProvider(QAbstractFileIconProvider *provider)

Sets the icon provider used by the filedialog to the specified provider.

See also iconProvider().

void QFileDialog::setItemDelegate(QAbstractItemDelegate *delegate)

Sets the item delegate used to render items in the views in the file dialog to the given delegate.

Any existing delegate will be removed, but not deleted. QFileDialog does not take ownership of delegate.

Note that the model used is QFileSystemModel. It has custom item data roles, which is described by the Roles enum. You can use a QFileIconProvider if you only want custom icons.

See also itemDelegate(), setIconProvider(), and QFileSystemModel.

void QFileDialog::setLabelText(QFileDialog::DialogLabel label, const QString &text)

Sets the text shown in the filedialog in the specified label.

See also labelText().

[since 5.2] void QFileDialog::setMimeTypeFilters(const QStringList &filters)

Sets the filters used in the file dialog, from a list of MIME types.

Convenience method for setNameFilters(). Uses QMimeType to create a name filter from the glob patterns and description defined in each MIME type.

Use application/octet-stream for the "All files (*)" filter, since that is the base MIME type for all files.

Calling setMimeTypeFilters overrides any previously set name filters, and changes the return value of nameFilters().

QStringList mimeTypeFilters({"image/jpeg", // will show "JPEG image (*.jpeg *.jpg *.jpe)
                             "image/png",  // will show "PNG image (*.png)"
                             "application/octet-stream" // will show "All files (*)"
                            });

QFileDialog dialog(this);
dialog.setMimeTypeFilters(mimeTypeFilters);
dialog.exec();

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

See also mimeTypeFilters().

void QFileDialog::setNameFilter(const QString &filter)

Sets the filter used in the file dialog to the given filter.

If filter contains a pair of parentheses containing one or more filename-wildcard patterns, separated by spaces, then only the text contained in the parentheses is used as the filter. This means that these calls are all equivalent:

dialog.setNameFilter("All C++ files (*.cpp *.cc *.C *.cxx *.c++)");
dialog.setNameFilter("*.cpp *.cc *.C *.cxx *.c++");

See also setMimeTypeFilters() and setNameFilters().

void QFileDialog::setNameFilters(const QStringList &filters)

Sets the filters used in the file dialog.

Note that the filter *.* is not portable, because the historical assumption that the file extension determines the file type is not consistent on every operating system. It is possible to have a file with no dot in its name (for example, Makefile). In a native Windows file dialog, *.* will match such files, while in other types of file dialogs it may not. So it is better to use * if you mean to select any file.

const QStringList filters({"Image files (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)",
                           "Text files (*.txt)",
                           "Any files (*)"
                          });
QFileDialog dialog(this);
dialog.setNameFilters(filters);
dialog.exec();

setMimeTypeFilters() has the advantage of providing all possible name filters for each file type. For example, JPEG images have three possible extensions; if your application can open such files, selecting the image/jpeg mime type as a filter will allow you to open all of them.

See also nameFilters().

void QFileDialog::setOption(QFileDialog::Option option, bool on = true)

Sets the given option to be enabled if on is true; otherwise, clears the given option.

Options (particularly the DontUseNativeDialogs option) should be set before changing dialog properties or showing the dialog.

Setting options while the dialog is visible is not guaranteed to have an immediate effect on the dialog (depending on the option and on the platform).

Setting options after changing other properties may cause these values to have no effect.

See also options and testOption().

void QFileDialog::setProxyModel(QAbstractProxyModel *proxyModel)

Sets the model for the views to the given proxyModel. This is useful if you want to modify the underlying model; for example, to add columns, filter data or add drives.

Any existing proxy model will be removed, but not deleted. The file dialog will take ownership of the proxyModel.

See also proxyModel().

void QFileDialog::setSidebarUrls(const QList<QUrl> &urls)

Sets the urls that are located in the sidebar.

For instance:

    QList<QUrl> urls;
    urls << QUrl::fromLocalFile("/Users/foo/Code/qt5")
         << QUrl::fromLocalFile(QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::MusicLocation).first());

    QFileDialog dialog;
    dialog.setSidebarUrls(urls);
    dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::AnyFile);
    if (dialog.exec()) {
        // ...
    }

The file dialog will then look like this:

See also sidebarUrls().

[override virtual] void QFileDialog::setVisible(bool visible)

Reimplements: QDialog::setVisible(bool visible).

QList<QUrl> QFileDialog::sidebarUrls() const

Returns a list of urls that are currently in the sidebar

See also setSidebarUrls().

bool QFileDialog::testOption(QFileDialog::Option option) const

Returns true if the given option is enabled; otherwise, returns false.

See also options and setOption().
