PyQt: current directory in QFileSystemModel

Question

I am using following code from some official example:

        model = QFileSystemModel()
        model.setRootPath(QDir.currentPath())
        view = QTreeView(parent=self);
        view.setModel(model)

I expected it to expand directory structure in the tree view so directory from which my program is run would be displayed. What I get, however, is unexpanded tree starting with file system root. How can I make it right?

I tried using expand, but it didn't help:

        model = QFileSystemModel()
        index = model.index(QDir.currentPath())
        view = QTreeView(parent=self);
        view.setModel(model)
        view.expand(index)

The tree view is still unexpanded.

Answer 1

You would have to use QTreeView.expand.
