    Hello
    I have a trouble with deleting the directory using rmdir of QFileSystemModel object.
    It only removes empty directories. but returns false if the directory is not empty.
    Do you have any Idea?

          Oh. That would have been too easy then :)

          http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11050977/removing-a-non-empty-folder-in-qt
          has a function that looks good.
          bool removeDir(const QString & dirName)
          make sure to give it full path.

          I dont think QFileSystemModel can do it directly .
          Not that i have seen.
