QStringList files = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(this, tr("Files & Directories"), QDir::currentPath(),tr(".doc.txt") );

tr(".doc.txt") is my files filter,same way i need folders filter with name only .abc at the end

It looks like you need to use proxy model for the open file dialog. Take a look on the QFileDialog::setProxyModel() and documentation of the Qt Model/View programming (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/model-view-proxy-models.html).
