Cascades Development

Hi 

Is there a way to make FilePicker select and display only folders  (or any other cascades class? ) 

I have tried the save mode. It seems perfect except the fact that we have to set a file Name at the end.

Can we make it not ask for file name ?

I tried using QT QFileDialog but it just crashes the app

QString dir = QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(0, tr("Open Directory"),
                                                   QString("/accounts/1000/removable/sdcard/"),
                                                   QFileDialog:: ShowDirsOnly | QFileDialog:: DontResolveSymlinks);

thanks

Try setting the FilePickerMode to "Saver":

Yes i tried that and its almost perfect , BUT we have to select a file name before close.

Saver mode expects to save a file at a location. I couldnt make it select only a folder.

What i want is for the user to be able to select just a folder which i can then use to search for some stuff. 

thanks

Ah, I see now where you said you already tried that

I just tried mode: FilePickerMode.SaverMultiple and that seems to do the trick!

I used FilePicker in Saver mode without setting the file name in QML.

And, if I'm not wrong, you need to pick some folder with FilePicker and then use the returned path of it right ?

man ... how i miss that

it works great , thanks all

Actually, using FilePickerMode.SaverMultiple can be also problematic. E.g. it won't allow you to select a folder if you don't have write permissions for it (but you should be able to select it for reading purposes). And you also cannot rename the "Save" button to something else. (E.g. "Select").

I didnt test this but it seems logical for selecting a save folder and so will break for read only access.

Do we have any folder in shared / sdcard without write access ?

https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/reference/bb__cascades__pickers__filepicker.html#function-... says this

"If the directories are not specified,FilePicker, in Picker Mode, will display the folders associated with the specified file type or navigate to the default folder in Saver Mode"

So maybe you can try to set the file type filter as Picture
