[Qt-interest] Selecting multiple files on different locations using QFileDialog

[hi]

Hi Jeffery,

Thanks for the reply.

I observed the same behavior (i.e. user can not select multiple files
from different location) with Visual Studio - 2008 (File -> Open ->
File...).

So it seems -- it is by-design.
BTW:any idea on how application can handle this case?

Thank you.
