PySide2: modal QFileDialog seems to ignore call to accept()

[Martin Chatterjee]

Hey there,

I stumbled over this issue while writing tests for some UI code.

I want to display a QFileDialog modally and then automatically close it with a few seconds delay by calling accept() through a QTimer.

This does work as expected in PySide -- however it does not work anymore in PySide2.

In this Github Gist you can find a minimal repro script and more detailed explanation in the comments.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? 

If anybody could have a quick look and maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong (or suggest a workaround) that woud be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Martin

BTW, I tested under Windows 10.

It works as expected in:

    - Standalone Python 2.7 + PySide

    - Maya 2016 SP 6 (  --> PySide)

It does not work in:

    - Maya 2017 U4 ( --> PySide2)

    - Maya 2018 U2 ( --> PySide2)
