Issue
I am trying to create a file explorer where you can look up a file. When found, the user should be able to select the file he want to upload. Therefore I need the path of the selected file.
Here is my current code:
import sys
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
class Explorer(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(Explorer, self).__init__()
self.resize(700, 600)
self.setWindowTitle("File Explorer")
self.treeView = QTreeView()
self.fileSystemModel = QFileSystemModel(self.treeView)
self.fileSystemModel.setReadOnly(True)
root = self.fileSystemModel.setRootPath("C:")
self.treeView.setModel(self.fileSystemModel)
Layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
Layout.addWidget(self.treeView)
self.setLayout(Layout)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
fileExplorer = Explorer()
fileExplorer .show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
How can I get the path of the file the user clicked on? Thanks for the help
Solution
In order to obtain the path we must use the QFileSystemModel::filePath()
method:
QString QFileSystemModel::filePath(const QModelIndex &index) const
Returns the path of the item stored in the model under the index given.
This requires a QModelIndex, this can be obtained through the clicked signal of QTreeView. For this we must connect it to some slot, in this case:
self.treeView.clicked.connect(self.onClicked)
def onClicked(self, index):
# self.sender() == self.treeView
# self.sender().model() == self.fileSystemModel
path = self.sender().model().filePath(index)
print(path)
Complete code:
import sys
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
class Explorer(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(Explorer, self).__init__()
self.resize(700, 600)
self.setWindowTitle("File Explorer")
self.treeView = QTreeView()
self.treeView.clicked.connect(self.onClicked)
self.fileSystemModel = QFileSystemModel(self.treeView)
self.fileSystemModel.setReadOnly(True)
self.fileSystemModel.setRootPath("C:")
self.treeView.setModel(self.fileSystemModel)
Layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
Layout.addWidget(self.treeView)
self.setLayout(Layout)
def onClicked(self, index):
path = self.sender().model().filePath(index)
print(path)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
fileExplorer = Explorer()
fileExplorer .show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
