QFileDialog does not show device files when browsing for sniffers #1

Closed cgundogan closed 8 years ago

cgundogan commented 9 years ago

When I browse for a sniffer using the Manage Sources dialog, I cannot see any device files in the /dev directory. I compiled foren6 under (arch) linux. After some googling I read about similar cases (not related to foren6), that the QFileDialog may ignore (character) device files? Is anyone else facing such a problem?

We face the same issue, the QFileDialog does not display special files, we have the same problem with FIFOs.
