So how does that work on the Mac then? With "off course you don't have any control" do you mean that you won't get e.g. the signals, such as the requested filterSelected() signal - unless you pass along the QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog when creating a new instance of QFileDialog on the Mac?

Or are you (on the Mac) somehow only "partially" using native widget elements when creating a QFileDialog (and hence still keeping control when they are modified somehow), whereas the static methods will create the "full blown default file dialog" of the Mac system (where you loose control, such as receiving signals when the filter has been changed)?
