I'm using this bit of code to open a file dialog and return the selected file names (PyQt5, Ubuntu)
QtWidgets.QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(self, 'Open files', self.__target, self.__open_f)
But instead of getting this list:
['/home/python/Downloads/addresses.csv', '/home/python/Downloads/airtravel.csv']
I am getting this list:
['/run/user/1000/doc/9f194012/addresses.csv', '/run/user/1000/doc/885466d0/airtravel.csv']
here is my code:
import os
import sys
from mods import fixqt
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon
from mods.csvdata import DataCSV
from mods.err_report import report_error
from mods.save_xl import save_excel_file
from ui.mainwindow import Ui_mwWCS
# this is the value of self.__target
home = os.path.expanduser("~/Desktop")
icon_path = os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)), "ui"), "Icon.ico")
open_filter = "CSV files (*.csv)"
save_filter = "Excel Workbook (*.xlsx)"
input_data = DataCSV([])
class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow): # window = qtw.QMainWindow()
def __init__(self, title="", mw_home="", op_filter="All files (*.*)", sv_filter="All files (*.*)", parent=None):
super().__init__(parent)
self.__title = title
self.ui = Ui_mwWCS()
self.ui.setupUi(self)
self.__target = mw_home
self.__open_f = op_filter
self.__save_f = sv_filter
self.__excel_file = ""
self.setWindowIcon(QIcon(icon_path))
self.__input_data = DataCSV([])
def __show_dialog(self):
return QtWidgets.QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(self, 'Open files', self.__target, self.__open_f)
def __set_csv(self, lst):
self.__input_data.set_files_list(lst)
# print(lst)
self.__input_data.open_csv_files()
self.__input_data.exception_entries()
self.__input_data.set_boxes_number()
self.__input_data.set_plates_number()
def on_add_clicked(self):
try:
list_names, _ = self.__show_dialog()
self.ui.lstInput.addItems(list_names)
self.__set_csv(list_names)
except Exception as e:
report_error("Error occurred (ADD)", e)
Can you please help on how can I get the proper filenames?
Update: trying my code in a terminal worked fine, could it be a problem related to pyCharm?
