QFileDialog to open multiple files

Question

I am trying to show a dialog box to open multiple files but seems like it is not working. The following is a function defined in my Class:

def loadFiles(self):
    filter = "TXT (*.txt);;PDF (*.pdf)"
    file_name = QtGui.QFileDialog()
    file_name.setFileMode(QFileDialog.ExistingFiles)
    names = file_name.getOpenFileNameAndFilter(self, "Open files", "C\\Desktop", filter)
    print names

I thought that the keyword was QFileDialog.ExistingFiles.

What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

You need to use getOpenFileNamesAndFilter instead of getOpenFileNameAndFilter (you're missing the s).
