The following code snippet explains the usage of FileInfo component.

App {
    id: app
    width: 800
    height: 532

    Text {
        id: titleText

        anchors {
            left: parent.left
            right: parent.right
            top: parent.top
            topMargin: 100
        }

        Column {
            Text { font.pointSize: 15; text: "File Path : " + fileInfo.filePath }

        }

        color: "#4c4c4c"
        horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter

Enumerations

Permission enumeration

Returns a number that can be interpreted into the permissions available on a file or folder.

This sample returns one of a series of results depending on user permissions.

Item {
        FileInfo {
        id: fileInfo
        filePath: "c:/temp/Bruce.txt"
    }

    Component.onCompleted: {
        var permissionsArray = [];
        var p = fileInfo.permissions.toString();

        console.log(p)

        permissionsArray.push(p);

        if (p & FileInfo.ReadOwner){ permissionsArray.push ("Read Owner");}
        if (p & FileInfo.WriteOwner){ permissionsArray.push ("Write Owner");}
        if (p & FileInfo.ExeOwner){ permissionsArray.push ("Exe Owner");}

        if (p & FileInfo.ReadUser){ permissionsArray.push ("Read User");}
        if (p & FileInfo.WriteUser){ permissionsArray.push ("Write User");}
        if (p & FileInfo.ExeUser){ permissionsArray.push ("Exe User");}

        if (p & FileInfo.ReadGroup){ permissionsArray.push ("Read Group");}
        if (p & FileInfo.WriteGroup){ permissionsArray.push ("Write Group");}
        if (p & FileInfo.ExeGroup){ permissionsArray.push ("Exe Group");}

        if (p & FileInfo.ReadOther){ permissionsArray.push ("Read Other");}
        if (p & FileInfo.WriteOther){ permissionsArray.push ("Write Other");}
        if (p & FileInfo.ExeOther){ permissionsArray.push ("Exe Other");}

        console.log(permissionsArray)
        repeater.model = permissionsArray;
    }

    Column {
        anchors.fill: parent

        Repeater {

                text: modelData
            }

The name of the extended property to check. For example, the property ExcludedFromBackup.


refresh()

Refreshes the information about the file.

This sample presents a button that refreshes the given file's information.

            onClicked: fileInfo.refresh()
        }
        Text {
