PyQt: removing unnecessary columns

Question

I am using QTreeView with QFileSystemModel. It displays columns like Size, Type, Modification Date, which I don't need. How can I remove them from the view? I can't find any removeColumn in model or in view.

Answer 1

Get the QHeaderView of your TreeView by calling header() on it, the headerview knows about the columns and can hide them via hideSection.

Answer 2

I believe, this post is a duplicate of:
How can I remove columns from a QTreeView (using QDirModel)?

The only difference is that here we are using QFileSystemModel instead of QDirModel - which makes no difference since the columns needs to be hidden in the view.

So I believe pointing to the right solution is the best thing to do.

QTreeView::setColumnHidden(int column, bool hide)
