QFileIconProvider(3qt)

📦 version 3.3.8b, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 QFileIconProvider 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the QFileIconProvider(3qt) man page — it's the Qt 3 one, from the 3qt manual, and it's genuinely so much cuter than it sounds, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

QFileIconProvider — the icon plug-in situation for QFileDialog to use 🌸

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <qfiledialog.h>

Inherits QObject.

👑 Public Members 👑

QFileIconProvider ( QObject * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
virtual const QPixmap * pixmap ( const QFileInfo & info )

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so basically the QFileIconProvider class provides icons for QFileDialog to use. that's the whole gig. icon supplier. main character energy but for pixmaps 💅

By default, QFileIconProvider is not used. like, it's just sitting there, unbothered. but any application or library can subclass it, reimplement pixmap() to return a suitable icon, and then make all QFileDialog objects use it by calling the static function QFileDialog::setIconProvider(). boom, global icon glow-up ✨

It is advisable to make all the icons that QFileIconProvider returns be the same size, or at least the same width. why? because it makes the list view look much better. consistency is the vibe, no cap 🦋

💅 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 💅

QFileIconProvider::QFileIconProvider ( QObject * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )

Constructs an empty file icon provider called name, with the parent parent. empty provider, full potential, iconic 🎀

const QPixmap * QFileIconProvider::pixmap ( const QFileInfo & info ) [virtual]

Returns a pointer to a pixmap that should be used to signify the file with the information info. like, "here's the face for this file" 😌

If pixmap() returns 0, QFileDialog draws the default pixmap. so no stress if you don't have an opinion — Qt's got you 🫶

The default implementation returns particular icons for files, directories, link-files and link-directories. It returns a blank "icon" for other types. nothing. a whole empty vibe 💀

If you return a pixmap here, it should measure 16x16 pixels. fr fr. don't be out here returning a 512x512 masterpiece, bestie, that's not the assignment 📏
