[Interest] QFileDialog Query

[Dan Allen]

Hi Guiseppe,

Here is a quick test case:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QFileDialog>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     QApplication a(argc, argv);
     QString savePath = QDir::homePath();
     savePath.append("/text.txt");
     QFile saveFile(savePath);
     if(!saveFile.exists())
     {
         saveFile.open(QFile::WriteOnly);
         saveFile.close();
     }
     QFileDialog fileDialog;
     fileDialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::AnyFile);
     fileDialog.setAcceptMode(QFileDialog::AcceptSave);
     fileDialog.setDirectory(QDir::homePath());
     fileDialog.setDefaultSuffix("txt");
     fileDialog.setNameFilter("Text (*.txt)");
     switch(fileDialog.exec())
     {
         case QDialog::Accepted:
         {
             QString selectedFile = fileDialog.selectedFiles().at(0);
             qDebug() << "Selected File:" << selectedFile;
             break;
         }
     }
     return 0;
}

This creates a file "text.txt" in the home folder.  When the file dialog 
opens, if you enter "text" in the textbox and click save, the file 
dialog returns "text.txt" even though the file already exists (and 
doesn't request a confirmation to overwrite).

Thanks,

Dan.
