PyQt4 QFileDialog problems
 

Hello,
I need a QFileDialog widget in my app to get a picture name, but I'm having huge problems with it.

1. When I scroll to the end of the folder list, dialog crashes with segmentation fault
2. Filesystem and "hildon directories" are visible in the list.
3. If I try to open any of the original filesystem folder, dialog crashes with segmentation fault
4. I can't see any files in the Camera folder. Interesting Audio folder is working fine.
5. Can't set the initial path to Camera (DCIM in filesystem) folder. The dialog crashes with segmentation fault

Obviously there are a lot of problem resolving "hildon directories". Has anyone got this working?

My current code:
filename, ok = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, "Open Image", "/home/user/MyDocs/DCIM", "*.*")

Btw. I'm talking about native dialogs. The original qt dialog works fine, but it looks like hell. Awful!

Same issue here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=557856

I also wasn't able to fix it.. I had to release my app in extras-devel with the original Qt Dialog..

Re: PyQt4 QFileDialog problems
 

Yes, it's a known issue with Qt4.5 (btw unrelated to PyQt). I have not yet tried 4.6 to see if the segfaults went away, but it's worth a try.

Ahhhh disappointing.
I don't want to switch to 4.6
I had a lot of dependency problems installing it as it is.

Are you sure its unrelated with PyQt?
I think someone said it works with qt and c++.
Have you tried switching to PySide?

And another question.
Is there a way to customise the original qt dialog?
To hide some of the unnecessary stuff.

I remember I tried PySide and no success.

Re: PyQt4 QFileDialog problems
 

Yes, it does the same thing in quickbrownfox which is a c++ app. PySide does not exist for Qt4.5

Too bad!

This is my first qt app. If I knew it had so many problems when I started, I would have done it with gtk
