can the Open File dialog be used to select a Folder?

Question

The \"Browse For Folder\" Windows dialog is very inconvenient because:

• it has no Path box where I can paste the path I want (eg from Total Commander)

Answer 1

You can set the file mode in QFileDialog to QFileDialog::Directory

see http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/qfiledialog.html#FileMode-enum

Or You can use QFileDialog::setOption with value QFileDialog::ShowDirsOnly
