QFileDialog setFileMode blues

[Rincewind]

Heya,

I am fairly new to Python and even newer to Qt.
The problem is opening a Qt file dialog to select folders only.
QFileDialog has a nice and dandy setFileMode() function just for that.
The only trouble is that I cannot make it work.
Last thing I've tried was something like this:

self.fd = QtGui.QFileDialog()
self.fd.setFileMode(self.fd.FileMode(4))
filename = self.fd.getOpenFileName()

...but it was fruitless.

Any help? Tons of internets in return!

QFileDialog.getOpenFileName() is a static method that creates its own
QFileDialog internally. It's not using the one you have created and
configured.
