I'm having some really odd difficulties in locating the .sounds directory. This no doubt due my limited understanding of Linux.

I got the following (Qt) code:

Code:
QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,tr("Open Sound"), "/home/user/MyDocs/.sounds", tr("Wave Files (*.wav)"));

// END
With this I get the no files/folders in Open file dialog and the directory up button is disabled. The same thing happens when pointing to /home/user/MyDocs. When I point to /home/user, I don't see the MyDocs directory but up button works.

Can anyone please explain what I'm doing wrong? Where is the .sounds directory located?

Thank you

looks like the correct path to me. Maybe you need the trailing forward slash? I'm shooting in the dark here...I'm no programmer.

Thanks, but it doesn't make any difference. The same result.

Ya, that PATH is correct.

The reason they made it a "hidden" directory was so they could translate it. Like that directory *name* stays the same across all installations, but on my spanish system it says "Sonidos", for example. So they are mapping to it some other way as well, to provide translations. Also, files that begin with a dot ".", are called "hidden" files in *nix. This isn't a full answer to your question, but maybe that provides some hints that will help.

Good luck and post the answer if you find it.

In GTK+, having the Hildon file chooser dialog open, already navigated to the .sounds directory works fine. (You can compile the attached to verify that.)

I know **** all about Qt so I wouldn't take this seriously, but you could try:
  • Ensuring that the device is not in Mass Storage mode. ;P
  • Try setting the path after the dialog is instantiated.

PHP Code:
/* gcc file-chooser-example.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0 gtk+-2.0 hildon-1 hildon-fm-2) -Wall */

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <glib.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <hildon/hildon.h>
#include <hildon/hildon-file-chooser-dialog.h>

static void on_file_chooser_dialog_response (GtkWidget *file_chooser_dialog, gint response_id, gpointer user_data G_GNUC_UNUSED)
{
    if (response_id == GTK_RESPONSE_OK)
    {
        char *filename = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (file_chooser_dialog));
        GtkWidget *note = hildon_note_new_information (GTK_WINDOW (file_chooser_dialog), filename);
        gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (note));
        gtk_widget_destroy (note);
        g_free (filename);
    }

    gtk_widget_destroy (file_chooser_dialog);
    gtk_main_quit ();
}

int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
    GtkWidget *file_chooser_dialog;
    GtkFileFilter *file_chooser_filter;

    g_assert (g_file_test ("/home/user/MyDocs/.sounds", G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR));

    hildon_gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

    file_chooser_dialog = hildon_file_chooser_dialog_new (NULL, GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN);
    gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (file_chooser_dialog), "Open Sound");
    gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (file_chooser_dialog), "/home/user/MyDocs/.sounds");
    file_chooser_filter = gtk_file_filter_new ();
    /* gtk_file_filter_set_name (file_chooser_filter, "Wave Files"); */ /* No point with the HildonFileChooserDialog... */
    gtk_file_filter_add_pattern (file_chooser_filter, "*.wav");
    gtk_file_chooser_add_filter (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (file_chooser_dialog), file_chooser_filter);
    gtk_file_chooser_set_filter (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (file_chooser_dialog), file_chooser_filter);

    g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (file_chooser_dialog), "response", G_CALLBACK (on_file_chooser_dialog_response), NULL);
    gtk_widget_show_all (file_chooser_dialog);

    gtk_main ();

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Do you launch your application with the "user" user?

Maybe you are using QtCreator. If you use QtCreator, the application gets launched with the "developer" user, wich, I think so, can't read /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds.

Try to exec your application from an xterm...

HTH,
Raul.
