I am having trouble retrieving the filenames from selected QListview, I want the get the names of the files I selected from my list so that I can open the files by calling the filenames I retrieved. However, this doesn't work...
Also, how do I set a multi select mode and retrieve all the files' filenames selected??

First do not modify the code provided by Qt Designer as indicated by the docs, instead create a class that inherits the appropriate widget and use the previous class to fill it. Going to the problem, you must use the function selectedIndexes() that return the QModelIndex to get the name through filePath of the model.
