Why the opened dialog is not centered to the main window?
void MainWindow::on_FileOpenAction_triggered()
{
QStringList fileNames = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(
this,
"Open Image",
QApplication::applicationDirPath(),
"Images (*.jpg);;All Files (*.*)"
);
}
The documentation says that is should work:
This function creates a modal file dialog with the given parent widget. If parent is not 0, the dialog will be shown centered over the parent widget.
I use QT 4.6.3 on Windows XP SP2.
There is either a bug in the Qt or an error in the documentation. If you want a centered dialog, avoid the static functions and create dialog this way:
QFileDialog dialog(
this,
"Open Image",
QApplication::applicationDirPath(),
"Images (*.jpg);;All Files (*.*)");
dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::ExistingFiles);
QStringList fileNames;
if (dialog.exec())
fileNames = dialog.selectedFiles();
Note that this uses the Qt's file dialog and not the native file dialog.
