Detailed DescriptionThe QDirModel class provides a data model for the local filesystem. The usage of QDirModel is not recommended anymore. The QFileSystemModel class is a more performant alternative. This class provides access to the local filesystem, providing functions for renaming and removing files and directories, and for creating new directories. In the simplest case, it can be used with a suitable display widget as part of a browser or filer. QDirModel keeps a cache with file information. The cache needs to be updated with refresh(). QDirModel can be accessed using the standard interface provided by QAbstractItemModel, but it also provides some convenience functions that are specific to a directory model. The fileInfo() and isDir() functions provide information about the underlying files and directories related to items in the model. Directories can be created and removed using mkdir(), rmdir(), and the model will be automatically updated to take the changes into account. Note: QDirModel requires an instance of a GUI application. See also nameFilters(), setFilter(), filter(), QListView, QTreeView, QFileSystemModel, Dir View Example, and Model Classes. Member Type Documentation

Property Documentation
lazyChildCount : bool
This property holds whether the directory model optimizes the hasChildren function to only check if the item is a directory.
If this property is set to false, the directory model will make sure that a directory actually containes any files before reporting that it has children. Otherwise the directory model will report that an item has children if the item is a directory.
This property is false by default
Access functions:
| bool | lazyChildCount () const |
| void | setLazyChildCount ( bool enable ) |
readOnly : bool
This property holds whether the directory model allows writing to the file system.
If this property is set to false, the directory model will allow renaming, copying and deleting of files and directories.
This property is true by default
Access functions:
| bool | isReadOnly () const |
| void | setReadOnly ( bool enable ) |
resolveSymlinks : bool
This property holds whether the directory model should resolve symbolic links.
This is only relevant on operating systems that support symbolic links.
Access functions:
| bool | resolveSymlinks () const |
| void | setResolveSymlinks ( bool enable ) |

QDirModel::QDirModel ( const QStringList & nameFilters, QDir::Filters filters, QDir::SortFlags sort, QObject * parent = 0 )
Constructs a new directory model with the given parent. Only those files matching the nameFilters and the filters are included in the model. The sort order is given by the sort flags.
QDirModel::QDirModel ( QObject * parent = 0 )
Constructs a directory model with the given parent.
QDirModel::~QDirModel ()
Destroys this directory model.
int QDirModel::columnCount ( const QModelIndex & parent = QModelIndex() ) const [virtual]
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel::columnCount().
Returns the number of columns in the parent model item.
QVariant QDirModel::data ( const QModelIndex & index, int role = Qt::DisplayRole ) const [virtual]
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel::data().
Returns the data for the model item index with the given role.
See also setData().
bool QDirModel::dropMimeData ( const QMimeData * data, Qt::DropAction action, int row, int column, const QModelIndex & parent ) [virtual]
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel::dropMimeData().
Handles the data supplied by a drag and drop operation that ended with the given action over the row in the model specified by the row and column and by the parent index.
See also supportedDropActions().
QIcon QDirModel::fileIcon ( const QModelIndex & index ) const
Returns the icons for the item stored in the model under the given index.
QFileInfo QDirModel::fileInfo ( const QModelIndex & index ) const
Returns the file information for the specified model index.
Note: If the model index represents a symbolic link in the underlying filing system, the file information returned will contain information about the symbolic link itself, regardless of whether resolveSymlinks is enabled or not.
See also QFileInfo::symLinkTarget().
QString QDirModel::fileName ( const QModelIndex & index ) const
Returns the name of the item stored in the model under the index given.
QString QDirModel::filePath ( const QModelIndex & index ) const
Returns the path of the item stored in the model under the index given.
QDir::Filters QDirModel::filter () const
Returns the filter specification for the directory model.
See also setFilter() and QDir::Filters.
Qt::ItemFlags QDirModel::flags ( const QModelIndex & index ) const [virtual]
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel::flags().
Returns the item flags for the given index in the model.
See also Qt::ItemFlags.
bool QDirModel::hasChildren ( const QModelIndex & parent = QModelIndex() ) const [virtual]
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel::hasChildren().
Returns true if the parent model item has children; otherwise returns false.
QVariant QDirModel::headerData ( int section, Qt::Orientation orientation, int role = Qt::DisplayRole ) const [virtual]
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel::headerData().
Returns the data stored under the given role for the specified section of the header with the given orientation.
QFileIconProvider * QDirModel::iconProvider () const
Returns the file icon provider for this directory model.
See also setIconProvider().
QModelIndex QDirModel::index ( int row, int column, const QModelIndex & parent = QModelIndex() ) const [virtual]
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel::index().
Returns the model item index for the item in the parent with the given row and column.
QModelIndex QDirModel::index ( const QString & path, int column = 0 ) const
This is an overloaded function.
Returns the model item index for the given path.
bool QDirModel::isDir ( const QModelIndex & index ) const
Returns true if the model item index represents a directory; otherwise returns false.
QMimeData * QDirModel::mimeData ( const QModelIndexList & indexes ) const [virtual]
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel::mimeData().
Returns an object that contains a serialized description of the specified indexes. The format used to describe the items corresponding to the indexes is obtained from the mimeTypes() function.
If the list of indexes is empty, 0 is returned rather than a serialized empty list.
QStringList QDirModel::mimeTypes () const [virtual]
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel::mimeTypes().
Returns a list of MIME types that can be used to describe a list of items in the model.
QModelIndex QDirModel::mkdir ( const QModelIndex & parent, const QString & name )
Create a directory with the name in the parent model item.

void QDirModel::refresh ( const QModelIndex & parent = QModelIndex() ) [slot]
QDirModel caches file information. This function updates the cache. The parent parameter is the directory from which the model is updated; the default value will update the model from root directory of the file system (the entire model).
bool QDirModel::remove ( const QModelIndex & index )
Removes the model item index from the directory model and deletes the corresponding file from the file system, returning true if successful. If the item cannot be removed, false is returned.
Warning: This function deletes files from the file system; it does not move them to a location where they can be recovered.
See also rmdir().
bool QDirModel::rmdir ( const QModelIndex & index )
Removes the directory corresponding to the model item index in the directory model and deletes the corresponding directory from the file system, returning true if successful. If the directory cannot be removed, false is returned.
Warning: This function deletes directories from the file system; it does not move them to a location where they can be recovered.
See also remove().
