[Qt-interest] QFileDialog Question (SOLVED)

[Scott Aron Bloom]

Another options...

Looking at the code, TT uses 

QSettings settings( QSettings::UserScope, "Trolltech" )
settings.beginGroup( "Qt" );
settings.setValue( "filedialog", saveState() )

saveState returns a QByteArray...

So... in your app..
QSettings settings( QSettings::UserScope, "Trolltech" )
settings.beginGroup( "Qt" );
settings.remove( "filedialog" ) 

Will reset it in a platform independent manner.
Scott
