◆ findAllUniqueFiles()
QStringList KFileUtils::findAllUniqueFiles | ( | const QStringList & | dirs, |
const QStringList & | nameFilters = {} ) |
Locates all files matching the nameFilters
in the given dirs
The returned list does not contain duplicate file names.
In case there are multiple files the one which comes first in the dirs list is returned. For example:
- Parameters
-
location standard location for the dir dir directory in which the files are located nameFilters filters that get passed to the QDirIterator that is used internally to iterate over the files in each dir in the list
- Returns
- list of absolute file paths

◆ makeSuggestedName()
Given a string, "foo", representing a file/directory (which usually exists already), this function returns a suggested name for a file/directory in the form "foo (1)", "foo (2)" etc.
Unlike the suggestName() method, this function doesn't check if there is a file/directory with the newly suggested name; the idea being that this responsibility falls on the caller, e.g. one can use KIO::stat() to check asynchronously whether the new name already exists (in its parent directory) or not.

◆ suggestName()
Given a directory path and a string representing a file or directory (which usually exist already), this function returns a suggested name for a file/directory that doesn't exist in baseURL
.
The suggested file name is of the form "foo (1)", "foo (2)" etc.
For local URLs, this function will check if there is already a file/directory with the new suggested name and will keep incrementing the number in the above format until it finds one that doesn't exist. Note that this function uses a blocking I/O call (using QFileInfo) to check the existence of the file/directory, this could be problematic for network mounts (e.g. SMB, NFS) as these are treated as local files by the upstream QFile code. An alternative is to use makeSuggestedName() and use KIO to stat the new file/directory in an asynchronous way.
