I have the path to a file/folder. How can I get the icon image in the system for this file/folder? I'm writing a customized file browse model for a QTreeView and would like to display the icon like what the QFileSystemModel does.
AFAIK QFileSystemModel relies on QFileIconProvider to get the correct icon.
You can do the same in your implementation by using the icon (const QFileInfo  &info) method.
This may work or not depending on the Desktop Environment you use.
How do I retrieve the system icon for a file in python or qt?
