[Interest] QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory does not expand tree on Windows 7

[Eric Clark]

Hello All,

I am currently building my application using Qt 4.7.4 on Windows 7. Recently, I noticed that when I call the method QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(...) and pass in a default directory to open to, the native dialog does open to the correct directory. However, the tree in the left-hand pane of the Windows dialog does not expand to that location. Does anyone know of any existing bugs in Qt or in the Windows 7 native file dialog that is causing this behavior? Or if anyone can tell me it has been fixed in a newer version of Qt? And, if anyone knows of a work-around for this, that would be extremely useful. Hopefully, someone out there has experienced this problem as well. I have attached a screen shot of what I am trying to explain if it helps...

Thank You in Advance!
Eric
