Showing filesystem in QTreeWidget

Question

I have a simple Question. I want to show my filesystem in a QTreeWidget just like an common file explorer.

How can i achieve that? I guess searching through all files and add them manual is not the approach to chose, right?

See [QFileSystemModel](http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/qfilesystemmodel.html). — thuga, Jan 08 '14 at 12:22

use QDirModel and QTreeView instead of QTreeWidget, here is a code snippet:

QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;
QTreeView *tree = new QTreeView(splitter);  
tree->setModel(model);  
tree->setRootIndex(model->index("C:\\"));

You should note that the docs state `The usage of QDirModel is not recommended anymore. The QFileSystemModel class is a more performant alternative.`. – thuga Jan 08 '14 at 12:33

Is there a way to set on click handlers for the items in a pure QTreeView? I only find solutions for QTreeWidget – tuxmania Jan 08 '14 at 12:48
