Inheritance diagram for KFileDialog:

Inheritance graph
[legend]

List of all members.


Detailed Description

Provides a user (and developer) friendly way to select files and directories.

The widget can be used as a drop in replacement for the QFileDialog widget, but has greater functionality and a nicer GUI.

You will usually want to use one of the static methods getOpenFileName(), getSaveFileName(), getOpenUrl() or for multiple files getOpenFileNames() or getOpenUrls().

The dialog has been designed to allow applications to customize it by subclassing. It uses geometry management to ensure that subclasses can easily add children that will be incorporated into the layout.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum KFileDialog::OperationMode

Defines some default behavior of the filedialog.

E.g. in mode Opening and Saving, the selected files/urls will be added to the "recent documents" list. The Saving mode also implies setKeepLocation() being set.

Other means that no default actions are performed.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KFileDialog::KFileDialog ( const KUrl &  startDir,
const QString &  filter,
QWidget *  parent,
QWidget *  widget = 0 
)

Constructs a file dialog.

Parameters:
startDir This can either be
  • The URL of the directory to start in.
  • A KUrl() to start in the current working directory, or the last directory where a file has been selected.
  • An URL starting with 'kfiledialog:///<keyword>' to start in the directory last used by a filedialog in the same application that specified the same keyword.
  • An URL starting with 'kfiledialog:///<keyword>?global' to start in the directory last used by a filedialog in any application that specified the same keyword.
filter A shell glob or a mime-type-filter that specifies which files to display. See setFilter() and setMimeFilter() for details on how to use this argument.
parent The parent widget of this dialog
widget A widget, or a widget of widgets, for displaying custom data in the dialog. This can be used, for example, to display a check box with the caption "Open as read-only". When creating this widget, you don't need to specify a parent, since the widget's parent will be set automatically by KFileDialog.

Definition at line 82 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

KFileDialog::~KFileDialog (  ) 

Destructs the file dialog.

Definition at line 130 of file kfiledialog.cpp.


Member Function Documentation

KUrl KFileDialog::selectedUrl (  )  const

Returns:
The selected fully qualified filename.

Definition at line 342 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

KUrl::List KFileDialog::selectedUrls (  )  const

Returns:
The list of selected URLs.

Definition at line 347 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

KUrl KFileDialog::baseUrl (  )  const

Returns:
the currently shown directory.

Definition at line 362 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

QString KFileDialog::selectedFile (  )  const

Returns the full path of the selected file in the local filesystem.

(Local files only)

Definition at line 352 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

QStringList KFileDialog::selectedFiles (  )  const

Returns a list of all selected local files.

Definition at line 357 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

void KFileDialog::setUrl ( const KUrl &  url,
bool  clearforward = true 
)

Sets the directory to view.

Parameters:
url URL to show.
clearforward Indicates whether the forward queue should be cleared.

Definition at line 207 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

void KFileDialog::setSelection ( const QString &  name  ) 

Sets the file name to preselect to name.

This takes absolute URLs and relative file names.

Definition at line 212 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

void KFileDialog::setOperationMode ( KFileDialog::OperationMode  mode  ) 

Sets the operational mode of the filedialog to Saving, Opening or Other.

This will set some flags that are specific to loading or saving files. E.g. setKeepLocation() makes mostly sense for a save-as dialog. So setOperationMode( KFileDialog::Saving ); sets setKeepLocation for example.

The mode Saving, together with a default filter set via setMimeFilter() will make the filter combobox read-only.

The default mode is Opening.

Call this method right after instantiating KFileDialog.

See also:
operationMode

KFileDialog::OperationMode

Definition at line 493 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

KFileDialog::OperationMode KFileDialog::operationMode (  )  const

Returns:
the current operation mode, Opening, Saving or Other.

Default is Other.

See also:
operationMode

KFileDialog::OperationMode

Definition at line 498 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

void KFileDialog::setKeepLocation ( bool  keep  ) 

Sets whether the filename/url should be kept when changing directories.

This is for example useful when having a predefined filename where the full path for that file is searched.

This is implicitly set when operationMode() is KFileDialog::Saving

getSaveFileName() and getSaveUrl() set this to true by default, so that you can type in the filename and change the directory without having to type the name again.

Definition at line 483 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

bool KFileDialog::keepsLocation (  )  const

Returns:
whether the contents of the location edit are kept when changing directories.

Definition at line 488 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

void KFileDialog::setFilter ( const QString &  filter  ) 

Sets the filter to be used to filter.

You can set more filters for the user to select separated by '\n'. Every filter entry is defined through namefilter|text to display. If no '|' is found in the expression, just the namefilter is shown. Examples:

 kfile->setFilter("*.cpp|C++ Source Files\n*.h|Header files");
 kfile->setFilter("*.cpp");
 kfile->setFilter("*.cpp|Sources (*.cpp)");
 kfile->setFilter("*.cpp|" + i18n("Sources (*.cpp)"));
 kfile->setFilter("*.cpp *.cc *.C|C++ Source Files\n*.h *.H|Header files");

Note: The text to display is not parsed in any way. So, if you want to show the suffix to select by a specific filter, you must repeat it.

If the filter contains an unescaped '/', a mimetype-filter is assumed. If you would like a '/' visible in your filter it can be escaped with a '\'. You can specify multiple mimetypes like this (separated with space):

 kfile->setFilter( "image/png text/html text/plain" );
 kfile->setFilter( "*.cue|CUE\\/BIN Files (*.cue)" );

See also:
setFilterMimeType()

Definition at line 168 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

void KFileDialog::setMimeFilter ( const QStringList &  types,
const QString &  defaultType = QString() 
)

Sets the filter up to specify the output type.

Parameters:
types a list of mimetypes that can be used as output format
defaultType the default mimetype to use as output format, if any. If defaultType is set, it will be set as the current item. Otherwise, a first item showing all the mimetypes will be created. Typically, defaultType should be empty for loading and set for saving.
Do not use in conjunction with setFilter()

Definition at line 152 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

QString KFileDialog::currentMimeFilter (  )  const

The mimetype for the desired output format.

This is only valid if setMimeFilter() has been called previously.

See also:
setMimeFilter()

Definition at line 163 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

Clears any mime- or namefilter.

Does not reload the directory.

Definition at line 158 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

void KFileDialog::setPreviewWidget ( KPreviewWidgetBase *  w  ) 

Adds a preview widget and enters the preview mode.

In this mode the dialog is split and the right part contains your preview widget.

Ownership is transferred to KFileDialog. You need to create the preview-widget with "new", i.e. on the heap.

Parameters:
w The widget to be used for the preview.

KUrl KFileDialog::getStartUrl ( const KUrl &  startDir,
QString &  recentDirClass 
) [static]

This method implements the logic to determine the user's default directory to be listed.

E.g. the documents directory, home directory or a recently used directory.

Parameters:
startDir A url, to be used. May use the 'kfiledialog:///keyword' and 'kfiledialog:///keyword?global' syntax as documented in the KFileDialog() constructor.
recentDirClass If the 'kfiledialog:///' syntax is used, recentDirClass will contain the string to be used later for KRecentDir::dir()
Returns:
The URL that should be listed by default (e.g. by KFileDialog or KDirSelectDialog).

Definition at line 515 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

void KFileDialog::setStartDir ( const KUrl &  directory  )  [static]

Definition at line 521 of file kfiledialog.cpp.

void KFileDialog::fileSelected ( const QString &   )  [signal]

Emitted when the user selects a file.

It is only emitted in single- selection mode. The best way to get notified about selected file(s) is to connect to the okClicked() signal inherited from KDialog and call selectedFile(), selectedFiles(), selectedUrl() or selectedUrls().

void KFileDialog::fileHighlighted ( const QString &   )  [signal]

Emitted when the user highlights a file.

void KFileDialog::selectionChanged (  )  [signal]

Emitted when the user hilights one or more files in multiselection mode.

Note: fileHighlighted() or fileSelected() are not emitted in multiselection mode. You may use selectedItems() to ask for the current highlighted items.

See also:
fileSelected

void KFileDialog::filterChanged ( const QString &  filter  )  [signal]

Emitted when the filter changed, i.e.

the user entered an own filter or chose one of the predefined set via setFilter().

Parameters:
filter contains the new filter (only the extension part, not the explanation), i.e. "*.cpp" or "*.cpp *.cc".
