Need to save a new file with QFileDialog

Question

I am attempting to give the user an option of saving a file using QFileDialog However if the file does not exist the File Dialog states that the file does not exist. I want the QfileDialog to simply tell me the name of the file the user typed so that I can create it. I am doing the following

QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(this, tr("Save File"))

and then create a file using the returned string.

Answer 1

Use QFileDialog::getSaveFileName instead getOpenFileNames :

 QString fileName = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, tr("Save File"),
                            "/home/jana/untitled.png",
                            tr("Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)"));
