How To Select Multiple Directories With Kfiledialog?

With PyKDE4.kio to select multiple files I can use KFileDialog.getOpenFileNames (instead of KFileDialog.getOpenFileName). What can I do if I want to select multiple directories? Th

Solution 1:

I found a solution from JohannesMunk on qtcentre.org and translated it to python

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QFileDialog, QAbstractItemView, QListView,
                             QTreeView, QApplication, QDialog)

class getExistingDirectories(QFileDialog):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        super(getExistingDirectories, self).__init__(*args)
        self.setOption(self.DontUseNativeDialog, True)
        self.setFileMode(self.Directory)
        self.setOption(self.ShowDirsOnly, True)
        self.findChildren(QListView)[0].setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView.ExtendedSelection)
        self.findChildren(QTreeView)[0].setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView.ExtendedSelection)

qapp = QApplication(sys.argv)
dlg = getExistingDirectories()
if dlg.exec_() == QDialog.Accepted:
    print(dlg.selectedFiles())
