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

[Gopalakrishna Bhat]

Hi,
I think it is possible to do. The first dialog only contains the tree
view above and below the list of files selected. It combines the
advantage of both the tree view multiple file selection and the
overview advantage of the list view.

With regards,
Gopalakrishna Bhat
