Description
Hi,
This is for the FileDialog QML component in the "QtQuick.Dialogs" import.
In Qt5 there was the `selectFolder` property https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-dialogs-filedialog.html#selectFolder-prop this allowed selecting a folder in the dialog.
In Qt6 this property is completely gone https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-dialogs-filedialog.html
What's the correct way in QML for Qt 6 to select a folder?
I refuse to use the FolderDialog from the `Qt.labs.platform` import https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qt-labs-platform-folderdialog.html because it's in labs.
Also, let me very explicitly remark that the `selectFolder` property had not been marked as deprecated at all! Why is it gone?
When i'm looking at the sources i'm truly amazed, yet again. Tends to be a think Qt does to me quite often these days with the QML state. And that's not a compliment.
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtdeclarative.git/tree/src/quickdialogs2/quickdialogs2
When looking through that source it seems like there is going to be a FolderDialog. But that's for Qt 6.3 which at the moment of writing this bug report hasn't been released yet! Also it's in a "quickdialogs2" folder. Is there going to be a "QtQuick.Dialogs*2*" import? Or is this yet another naming inconsistency? (thinking about controls that has the same naming mess).
So my thinking is.. This can't be right, back to the 6.2 source.
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtdeclarative.git/tree/src/quickdialogs2/quickdialogs2?h=6.2
There i do see what i expect (the folder name is still throwing me off but I'll just assume that's the correct folder). Digging in https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtdeclarative.git/tree/src/quickdialogs2/quickdialogs2/qquickfiledialog_p.h?h=6.2 i can see that it just outright misses the "selectFolder" property there. So who removed it? As this is 100% certainly an API/ABI breakage.
The earliest it appears in that repository is https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtdeclarative.git/commit/src/quickdialogs2/quickdialogs2/qquickfiledialog_p.h?h=6.2&id=f9421abbdf4d2e2be06febf9f75a2b62e6875835 where it's already missing the property.
That's where I've lost track of it.
It "seems" to be a new implementation. And while that is probably good, you can't just break API. This only helps in giving an impression of an immature project (which Qt shouldn't be).
How do i fix this in Qt 6.2.x?
