Question

Other than filtering the .. and . manually, is there an “official” way to do that?

The document didn’t mention much, here’s what I use,

QDir dir (path);
foreach (const QFileInfo & fileInfo, dir.entryInfoList())
{
  if (fileInfo.fileName() != ".." && fileInfo.fileName() != ".")
  {
     blabla
  }
}

You could try to use the QDir::NoDotAndDotDot option of entryInfoList:

foreach (const QFileInfo & fileInfo, dir.entryInfoList(QDir::NoDotAndDotDot | QDir::Files))

(which will give you only the files: add QDir::Dirs for the directories)
