Methods
Detailed Description
FolderListModel provides access to information about the contents of a folder in the local file system, exposing a list of files to views and other data components.
Note: This type is made available by importing the Qt.labs.folderlistmodel
module. Elements in the Qt.labs module are not guaranteed to remain compatible in future versions.
import Qt.labs.folderlistmodel 2.1
The folder property specifies the folder to access. Information about the files and directories in the folder is supplied via the model's interface. Components access names and paths via the following roles:
fileName
filePath
-
fileURL
(since Qt 5.2) fileBaseName
fileSuffix
fileSize
fileModified
fileAccessed
fileIsDir
Additionally a file entry can be differentiated from a folder entry via the isFolder() method.
Filtering
Various properties can be set to filter the number of files and directories exposed by the model.
The nameFilters property can be set to contain a list of wildcard filters that are applied to names of files and directories, causing only those that match the filters to be exposed.
Directories can be included or excluded using the showDirs property, navigation directories can also be excluded by setting the showDotAndDotDot property to false, hidden files can be included or excluded using the showHidden property.
It is sometimes useful to limit the files and directories exposed to those that the user can access. The showOnlyReadable property can be set to enable this feature.
Example Usage
The following example shows a FolderListModel being used to provide a list of QML files in a ListView:
import QtQuick 2.0 import Qt.labs.folderlistmodel 2.1 ListView { width: 200; height: 400 FolderListModel { id: folderModel nameFilters: ["*.qml"] } Component { id: fileDelegate Text { text: fileName } } model: folderModel delegate: fileDelegate }
Path Separators
Qt uses "/" as a universal directory separator in the same way that "/" is used as a path separator in URLs. If you always use "/" as a directory separator, Qt will translate your paths to conform to the underlying operating system.

Property Documentation
caseSensitive : bool
Use case sensitive pattern matching.
By default, this property is true.
This QML property was introduced in Qt 5.7.
count : int
Returns the number of items in the current folder that match the filter criteria.
folder : string
The folder property holds a URL for the folder that the model is currently providing.
The value must be a file
: or qrc
: URL, or a relative URL.
By default, the value is an invalid URL.
nameFilters : list<string>
The nameFilters property contains a list of file name filters. The filters may include the ? and * wildcards.
The example below filters on PNG and JPEG files:
FolderListModel { nameFilters: [ "*.png", "*.jpg" ] }
Note: Directories are not excluded by filters.
parentFolder : url
Returns the URL of the parent of the current folder.
rootFolder : url
When this property is set, the given folder will be treated as the root in the file system, so that you can only traverse subfolders within it.
showDirs : bool
If true, directories are included in the model; otherwise only files are included.
By default, this property is true.
Note that the nameFilters are not applied to directories.
See also showDotAndDotDot.
showDirsFirst : bool
If true, if directories are included in the model they will always be shown first, then the files.
By default, this property is false.
showDotAndDotDot : bool
If true, the "." and ".." directories are included in the model; otherwise they are excluded.
By default, this property is false.
See also showDirs.
showFiles : bool
If true, files are included in the model; otherwise only directories are included.
By default, this property is true.
This QML property was introduced in Qt 5.2.
See also showDirs.
showHidden : bool
If true, hidden files and directories are included in the model; otherwise they are excluded.
By default, this property is false.
This QML property was introduced in Qt 5.2.
showOnlyReadable : bool
If true, only readable files and directories are shown; otherwise all files and directories are shown.
By default, this property is false.
See also showDirs.
sortField : enumeration
The sortField property contains field to use for sorting. sortField may be one of:
- Unsorted - no sorting is applied.
- Name - sort by filename
- Time - sort by time modified
- Size - sort by file size
- Type - sort by file type (extension)
See also sortReversed.
sortReversed : bool
If set to true, reverses the sort order. The default is false.
See also sortField.
Method Documentation
var get(int index, string property)
Get the folder property for the given index. The following properties are available.
fileName
filePath
-
fileURL
(since Qt 5.2) fileBaseName
fileSuffix
fileSize
fileModified
fileAccessed
fileIsDir
int indexOf(url file)
Get the index of the given file URL if the model contains it, or -1 if not.
This QML method was introduced in Qt 5.6.
bool isFolder(int index)
Returns true if the entry index is a folder; otherwise returns false.
