Basically when browsing folders inside a QFileDialog I find very annoying to have everything bloated with hidden or backup folders (don't know how to call them really); specially on home.

Is there a way to prevent these type of folders from showing by default on a QFileDialog?

I'm using Qt4.6 and getOpenFileName.

P.D.: I'm starting to think this might be an ubuntu thing...?

I use Linux only sporadically, but I believe the "." is just a convention which file managers use to hide files. Probably you'll have to write code to explicitly filter out folder names.

Check out qfiledialog - Filtering Folders?
