That's a good point, Marco. I'd forgotten about the distinction.
Converting 'filename' to a Python string with 'str()' fixed the problem.

I'm sorry about the confusion. In the file I attached I had tried using
'os.path.split()', with no luck.

Python's 'split()' works, like this:
basename = filename.split('/')[-1]
self.datafile.setText(basename)
Also, with less code,
self.datafile.setText(os.path.basename(str(filename)))

Yes. Please do. I guess it's useful though to have our e-mail exchange
on record for anyone else who stumbles over the Python string vs QString
distinction.
Thanks and regards
