Hello Jérôme,

I am trying to understand how you made it possible,

I might misunderstand, do you actually using QMessageBox with QML
application? or do you mean MessageBox QML type?

Do you mean instead of sending the user input to FileDialog and checking
this url in C++, you directly check if the file exists in QML?

I am sorry, you return error from what?

Side Note: We also have experiment with throw from C++ that get evaluate
