Dear list,

I'm having problems using QFileSystemModel in QML.

Take the following example code:

    // QQmlEngine* engine
    QFileSystemModel* fsm = new QFileSystemModel(engine);
    QModelIndex root = fsm->setRootPath("C:/Qt");
    engine->rootContext()->setContextProperty("fileSystemModel", fsm);

Now, using for example a QTreeView, one could set the root by using
``QTreeWidget::setRootIndex(root)`` to filter everything above the root
level. But suppose I'd like to use the model in QML, e.g. in a TreeView
QML component which doesn't have a setRoot() property.

I'm not sure about the rest of your question, but TreeView has a rootIndex property in 5.6:
