      hi
      connect(ui->plainTextEdit,SIGNAL(textChanged()),this,SLOT(addStar()));
      This connects to addStar() and not
      text_Changed() ?
      also , to make sure connect works, you can
      QDebug() << " Text Change Signal:" << connect(ui->plainTextEdit,SIGNAL(textChanged()),this,SLOT(addStar()));
      and see it returns true.

          @takoo said:

          qDebug()<<currentName;

          well try with
          qDebug()<<"hello";

          where is currentName defined? where do u set the value?

              hi
              u are using
              currentName=model->fileName(index);
              and I sort expect it to be
              currentName=model->fileName(mapped);
              if u still have sort on.
              //
              ui->tabWidget_2->setTabText(ui->tabWİdget_2->currentIndex(),ty+"*");//this not working

              ok. it looks strange. what are u trying to do ?

                  and what part is not working?
                  Is currentindex valid?

                  int sel=ui->tabWİdget_2->currentIndex();
                  qDebug () << "sel is:" << sel;
                  ui->tabWidget_2->setTabText(sel,"test");

                      Hi
                      It should do the same in any slot or function.
                      Are you sure its called
                      and the index and text you use are valid?
                      what did
                      qDebug () << "sel is:" << sel;
                      show you?

                          ok. ahh.
                          so index is not valid.
                          tabWİdget_2->currentIndex() is -1 which means there is no
                          current/active tab.
                          try clicking tab before testing the text changed or change to
                          the first one.

                          How many tabs did u add to it ?

                                sorry I am out of guesses.
                                if
                                ui->tabWidget_2->setTabText(0,"tabOne");
                                does not work, it have no idea then.

                                Did u place break point on it and made sure its called?
                                You are 100% sure you are adding tabs to ui->tabWidget_2 and not
                                ui->tabWidget_1 or something else ?

                                    There is no reason that setTabText should not work.

                                    please see this small sample that change tabtext when u write in edit
