When you're using the static methods of QFileDialog (like the above) your
operating system gets to decide how the view that you get looks like. The
static methods always try to use the native file dialogs of your desktop if
available. I'm not 100% sure how Qt's own implementation looks like for
getting a directory, but you can easily find out by using the
constructor+setters+_exec() instead of the class-method.
