Hi all,

Thank you guys for your help.

I tried using this instead
import org.nemomobile.folderlistmodel 1.0 (used in filemanager)
of this
import Qt.labs.folderlistmodel 1.0 (used in Music)

homePath() is usable and works in the first of them, but not in the one 
I'm currently using, so I have to move away from it.
However, I seem to be unable to find any documentation about it, and 
the current FolderListModel I'm using doesn't not work together with 
the nemomobile one.

I also agree with Carlos. It would be very helpful if Canonical could 
create these more needed variables to be usable without any C++ 
knowledge. It is, for me at least, much harder and I don't even know 
how the header and source file works. Nor am I even slightly 
interested. This might seem a bit ignorant, but I'm a user of PHP and 
Python - I don't want to compile stuff. At least not my own.

Again, thanks.

Vänlig hälsning / Yours sincerely,
