FolderListModel - Hidden files

[pixsta]

Hello,

Is it possible to set attributes in the FolderListModel [1]? For instance to show also hidden files/folders? I could not find such an option in the docs but perhaps there is again some undocumented/hidden feature?

Regards,

it is not possible to set file attributes in QML FolderListModel element for filtering --- except showOnlyReadable. It is defined by implementation. i think it is not difficult to implement FolderListModel alternative from example application :

search for FolderListModel example in Qt Creator from Qt SDK 1.2 (latest) ---> Welcome page ---> search bar keyword "folder" and alter it !, however it will be platform depended solution.

Just a guess, is it possible to expose a c++ model with modified properties(as mentioned in the requirement) to the QML?

[izinin]

do you want to alter QML implementation ? --- it is possible as well since it is open source , but altering tutorial example is much easier --- the both expose C++ model

I will extend/modify the FolderListModel to include hidden files. I just thought that there might be some kind of trick to make it view hidden files without modifications.
