hello Detlev

I am supposed to select multiple files and list them on listwidget but i am
able only to select one file and list it on listwidget using this code

files = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self,  'Open file','/home/',
("Images (*.png *.tiff *.jpg)"))
		data=""
	                if(files):
			file=open(files)
			data = file.read()
		        self.listWidget.addItem(files) 

but when i pasted your code
files = QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(self, self.trUtf8("Add documentation"),
QString("/home"), self.trUtf8("Images (*.png *.tiff *.jpg)")) 
		data=""
		if(files):
			file=open(files)
			data = file.read()
			self.listWidget.addItem(files)

python returned this error
waseem at home:~/Desktop/Project2/GUI$ python wrapphotodb.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "wrapphotodb.py", line 50, in _actionImport_Photos
    file=open(files)
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, QStringList found

plus what do you mean by Add Documentation in your code?!
