GtkFileSelection has been superseded by the newer GtkFileChooser family of widgets.
GtkFileSelection should be used to retrieve file or directory names from the user. It will create a new dialog window containing a directory list, and a file list corresponding to the current working directory. The filesystem can be navigated using the directory list or the drop-down history menu. Alternatively, the TAB key can be used to navigate using filename completion - common in text based editors such as emacs and jed.
File selection dialogs are created with a call to gtk_file_selection_new().
The default filename can be set using gtk_file_selection_set_filename() and the selected filename retrieved using gtk_file_selection_get_filename().
Use gtk_file_selection_complete() to display files and directories
that match a given pattern. This can be used for example, to show only
*.txt files, or only files beginning with gtk*.
Simple file operations; create directory, delete file, and rename file, are available from buttons at the top of the dialog. These can be hidden using gtk_file_selection_hide_fileop_buttons() and shown again using gtk_file_selection_show_fileop_buttons().
Example 64. Getting a filename from the user.

GtkWidget * gtk_file_selection_new (const gchar *title);
gtk_file_selection_new is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new() instead
Creates a new file selection dialog box. By default it will contain a GtkTreeView of the application's current working directory, and a file listing. Operation buttons that allow the user to create a directory, delete files and rename files, are also present.
|
a message that will be placed in the file requestor's titlebar. |
Returns : |
the new file selection. |
#define gtk_file_selection_set_filename gtk_file_selection_set_filename_utf8
gtk_file_selection_set_filename is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Sets a default path for the file requestor. If filename includes a
directory path, then the requestor will open with that path as its
current working directory.
This has the consequence that in order to open the requestor with a
working directory and an empty filename, filename must have a trailing
directory separator.
The encoding of filename is preferred GLib file name encoding, which
may not be UTF-8. See g_filename_from_utf8().
|
a GtkFileSelection. |
|
a string to set as the default file name. |
#define gtk_file_selection_get_filename gtk_file_selection_get_filename_utf8
gtk_file_selection_get_filename is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
This function returns the selected filename in the GLib file name
encoding. To convert to UTF-8, call g_filename_to_utf8(). The
returned string points to a statically allocated buffer and should
be copied if you plan to keep it around.
If no file is selected then the selected directory path is returned.
Returns : |
currently-selected filename in the on-disk encoding. |
void gtk_file_selection_complete (GtkFileSelection *filesel,const gchar *pattern);
gtk_file_selection_complete is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Will attempt to match pattern to a valid filenames or subdirectories in the current directory. If a match can be made, the matched filename will appear in the text entry field of the file selection dialog.
If a partial match can be made, the "Files" list will contain those
file names which have been partially matched, and the "Folders"
list those directories which have been partially matched.
|
a GtkFileSelection. |
|
a string of characters which may or may not match any filenames in the current directory. |
void gtk_file_selection_show_fileop_buttons
(GtkFileSelection *filesel);
gtk_file_selection_show_fileop_buttons is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Shows the file operation buttons, if they have previously been hidden. The rest of the widgets in the dialog will be resized accordingly.
|
a GtkFileSelection. |
void gtk_file_selection_hide_fileop_buttons
(GtkFileSelection *filesel);
gtk_file_selection_hide_fileop_buttons is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Hides the file operation buttons that normally appear at the top of the dialog. Useful if you wish to create a custom file selector, based on GtkFileSelection.
|
a GtkFileSelection. |
#define gtk_file_selection_get_selections gtk_file_selection_get_selections_utf8
gtk_file_selection_get_selections is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Retrieves the list of file selections the user has made in the dialog box. This function is intended for use when the user can select multiple files in the file list.
The filenames are in the GLib file name encoding. To convert to
UTF-8, call g_filename_to_utf8() on each string.
Returns : |
a newly-allocated NULL-terminated array of strings. Use
g_strfreev() to free it. |
void gtk_file_selection_set_select_multiple (GtkFileSelection *filesel,gboolean select_multiple);
gtk_file_selection_set_select_multiple is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Sets whether the user is allowed to select multiple files in the file list.
Use gtk_file_selection_get_selections() to get the list of selected files.
|
a GtkFileSelection |
|
whether or not the user is allowed to select multiple files in the file list. |
gboolean gtk_file_selection_get_select_multiple
(GtkFileSelection *filesel);
gtk_file_selection_get_select_multiple is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Determines whether or not the user is allowed to select multiple files in
the file list. See gtk_file_selection_set_select_multiple().
|

Returns : |
TRUE if the user is allowed to select multiple files in the
file list |
