I'm creating a text editor using QT Widgets, with tabs like VS Code, and when I open a file with QFileDialog I want to rename the tab title to the name of the file just like normal text editor do, I've found the QFileDialog::getOpenFileName() but that method returns the full path, and I want to return only the file name. Is it possible ?

1You can easily remove the path for display however you most likely need the path if you are going to open the file. – drescherjm Aug 19 '21 at 22:59

but the path format is different for each OS in Unix `/home/user/...` and in Windows `C:\Users\username\...` – Fady's Cube Aug 19 '21 at 23:01
