Like this you use the native dialog so if you run windows or mac then
the native dialog will be show and you can't embed it into a custom
dialog. Try this option at the end of getOpenFileNames (see doc)
DontUseNativeDialog.

If it doesn't work then you have to construct a standard QFileDialog
like new QFileDialog instead of using the static functions.
