To transfer paths into Qt when selecting multiple files or folders on the desktop, you can utilize QFileDialog to handle file selection and obtain the paths in a Qt-friendly format.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Include Necessary Headers:
   Ensure that you have included the required headers for file dialogs and string handling:
   #include <QStringList>   #include <QFileDialog>

2. Initialize File Dialog:
   Use QFileDialog to open a dialog in save or open mode with appropriate options:
   QString dir = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(...);

3. Handle Multiple Selections:
   Retrieve the list of selected files and folders as a QStringList:
   QStringList open_filenames = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(       nullptr,        tr(“Select Files”),        dir,       tr(“All Files (*)”),       QFileDialog::ReadOnly | QFileDialog::ExistingFiles   );

4. Convert Paths:
   Convert the QStringList to a format suitable for Qt operations:
   QList<QString> qt_paths = open_filenames;

This approach efficiently integrates file selection with Qt’s type system, ensuring seamless handling of multiple file and folder paths.
