QFileSystemModel hide certain files

Question

What I'm looking for is pretty much the opposite of QFileSystemModel::setNameFilters(). I'd like to set filters that catch things I don't want to show, but let everything else through. I don't see any way to go through and hide certain files, because remove() actually removes the file from the system.

How do I go about this?

Edit for clarification: I have a specific list of filenames that I don't want to show.

Not a perfect solution but are there any existing presets in QDir::Filters that you can use? It will filter things like dirs, symlinks, system files etc

Oops. Should have been clearer. I have a specific list of filenames I don't want to show. – Dane Larsen Feb 07 '11 at 22:15

Then you need a custom proxy - see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4893122/filtering-in-qfiledialog – Martin Beckett Feb 07 '11 at 22:18
That looks like it will work. Thanks! If you want to make it a proper answer, I'll accept it. – Dane Larsen Feb 08 '11 at 19:56
