PyQt: Can't show PY variable in QT filedialog as initially parameter

[ulysses]

Hi,

I use PyQt 3.8 non-commercial version in win32. I get a big question.
I Can't show PY variable in QT filedialog as initially parameter.

Code sample is following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fileName="test.avi"

def saveSomething(aString):
dl = QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(aString, "*.*", self, "FileDialog")
or
dl = QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(QString(aString), "*.*",
self, "FileDialog")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
these code can't show corrent string.

If I use string constant.
dl = QFileDialog.getSaveFileName("test.avi", "*.*", self, "FileDialog")

Dialog show it correctly.

Thanks.

Ulysses

Maybe try:

dl = QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(str(aString), "*.*", self, "FileDialog")

Thank you for you reply. I has try this code. str(aString). But it's still
can't work.

I has kill the question. code is following
strTemp=QString(' '+default)

dl = QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(strTemp, "*.*", self, "FileDialog")

Dialog show correctly. I read it from QT C++ document.

Have you got a complete (but small) example that demonstrate's the problem?

Above code is a example. I do a little application for free.
main form will arrive 1XXX line. So I can't post it all.

BTW: I can't show getExistingDirectory Dialog in a python thread.
it's will halt whole program.
