> I think we should make QFileDialog more touch-friendly at some point.  It seems to me the main problem is that it prefers to do drag-and-drop instead of flicking in the list view, right?  (And there are also some appearance and sizing issues, which are easier to fix.)  And yet DnD should also be possible in general (especially on desktop systems).  So we are thinking now that the distinction should be that when you flick quickly, it should scroll, whereas if you want to do DnD you would need to press, pause for a short time and then drag.  (But pause for a shorter time than you would for a “long press”.)  Or otherwise, the solution should probably be the same as for text selection in a scrollable text editor: somehow you have to be able to use one finger both to select a range of text, and also to scroll.

Shawn,
iOS-team has added to 5.5 touch-specific control for dealing with image files.

Developers would really appreciate this addition; options to
deal with document files and voice/audio files could be next.

Taking this direction to Android could be great,
but please do not miss widgets!

Take care!
Robert
