Hide a folder from a QFileSystemModel

I would like to know how to hide a specific folder in a treeView with QFileSystemModel.

I know that we can filter folders to show only some files using setFilter but I don't know how to filter a folder.

I want to display folders except one. I know the name of this folder so I can choose it by the name.

Does anyone know how to hide/remove this folder from the list please?

The filters can use wildcards, but those wildcards are optional. You're free to use the filters to filter out a non-wildcard name.

QStringList filters;
filters << "*.badext" << "foldername";
model->setNameFilters(filters);

If you want tighter control over it - for example, to only filter out folder with a given name, and not a file with a given name, then you need to implement a QSortFilterProxyModel.
