hello, i read this post and it's quite helpful i am still having problem in my application on how to link the qlistview with qfiledailoug, how can i made them talk to each other, my UI was designed using qt designer 4.4 then converted to python classes but since then i am stuck on the linking part of the functions. Any idea on how to link the Qfiledailoug that will browse my system data and try to import them on the Qlistview.

Just nitpicking, but shouldn't you be calling QAbstractListModel's and not QAbstractTableModel's init method in the list models own init method?

Magnus, You are right. It must have been a copy/paste error. Thank you for the correction. I have updated the code above.

Thankyou for the example. The documentation is a bit opaque, I prefer to see it working first, then figure out how it works..
