QFileDialog::getOpenFileName 不会在 Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion 上设置初始目录

Question

I can not change the current directory with QFileDialog with Qt 4.8. The same code works fine on Windows and Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. It also works fine if I don't use the native Mac OS X dialog.

This works:

fn=QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,"Select File","/Users/myuser/Desktop",QString(),0,QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog);

This doesn't work:

fn=QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,"Select File","/Users/myuser/Desktop");

It looks like if most of the time it opens the last path of the last call to getOpenFileName.

Got the same issue with Qt5.2.0 on Mavericks... I found a work around: append a dummy file name to the directory you want to select. However, be sure not to do this on Windows because the user will see it.

QString dir = "/Users/myuser/Desktop";
#if defined(__APPLE__)
dir += "/MyFile.txt";
#endif
fn = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, "Select File", dir);

Also, for those like me that instantiate a file dialog because they need more options you can also do:

QFileDialog fileDialog(this, "Select File");
#if defined(__APPLE__)
fileDialog.selectFile(dir + "/MyFile.txt");
#else
fileDialog.setDirectory(dir);
#endif
...

This is a bug in Qt that is reportedly fixed in Qt 5.0.1 and Qt 4.8.4 (though it seems that it still reproducible in 4.8.4 by people (myself included)).

This bug has been reported in JIRA as QTBUG-20771 , QTBUG-28161 and finally QTBUG-35779 (which appears to have finally fully resolved the issue in Qt 5.2.1). Here is a link to the patch in Gerrit .
