QtCommander is a program to manipulate files and directories on disc. In the first four versions of this program we familiarised ourselves with classes required to construct a main window of the application, along with classes letting one design models and views. However, current implementation of QtCommander is capable to browse directories. In this article Jacek describes how to improve model and view, using the drag-and-drop mechanism and in-line editing.

 

 

Last month we began writing an application called QtCommander - a program to manipulate files and directories on disc. In the first four versions of the program we familiarised ourselves with classes required to construct the main window of the application, along with classes letting one design models and views. However, current implementation of QtCommander is capable only of browsing directories. In this article I will describe how to improve the model and the view so that their contents can be modified, using the drag-and-drop mechanism and in-line editing.

Version 5

 

 

Figure 1. QtCommander v5

 

In this version we will improve DirModel with functions allowing modifications of data it contains. Next, we will implement drag-and-drop in DirView.
