File Dialog Boxes With QFileDialog - PyQt5 GUI Thursdays #29

In this video I'll show you how to get a file location using a File Dialog Box using the QFileDialog widget.
the QFileDialog widget makes it super easy to get the location of anyfilename quickly and easily.
It returns a tuple with two items, and then we can just grab the zero'ith item of the tuple to get the file location.

Is it possible to add a qfiledialog widget using qt designer? Are all widgets not available on qt designer?

[@adamfatyga7977]

Why You need that? Its already from OS.

[@sylvainboyer2310]

I guess you can improve the code using : if fname[0], that will avoid to get errors in the console

[@colfcraft1791]

How I make that with input?

[@adamfatyga7977]

And how to take ONLY file name, without path?
