Struct gtk4::FileChooser

pub struct FileChooser { /* private fields */ }

👎Deprecated: Since 4.10

Use FileDialog instead FileChooser is an interface that can be implemented by file selection widgets.

In GTK, the main objects that implement this interface are FileChooserWidget and FileChooserDialog.

You do not need to write an object that implements the FileChooser interface unless you are trying to adapt an existing file selector to expose a standard programming interface.

FileChooser allows for shortcuts to various places in the filesystem. In the default implementation these are displayed in the left pane. It may be a bit confusing at first that these shortcuts come from various sources and in various flavours, so lets explain the terminology here:

• Bookmarks: are created by the user, by dragging folders from the right pane to the left pane, or by using the “Add”. Bookmarks can be renamed and deleted by the user.

• Shortcuts: can be provided by the application. For example, a Paint program may want to add a shortcut for a Clipart folder. Shortcuts cannot be modified by the user.

• Volumes: are provided by the underlying filesystem abstraction. They are the “roots” of the filesystem.

File Names and Encodings

When the user is finished selecting files in a FileChooser, your program can get the selected filenames as GFiles.

Adding options

You can add extra widgets to a file chooser to provide options that are not present in the default design, by using FileChooserExtManual::add_choice(). Each choice has an identifier and a user visible label; additionally, each choice can have multiple options. If a choice has no option, it will be rendered as a check button with the given label; if a choice has options, it will be rendered as a combo box.

Properties

action

The type of operation that the file chooser is performing.

Readable | Writeable

create-folders

Whether a file chooser not in FileChooserAction::Open mode will offer the user to create new folders.

Readable | Writeable

filter

The current filter for selecting files that are displayed.

Readable | Writeable

filters

A GListModel containing the filters that have been added with gtk_file_chooser_add_filter().

The returned object should not be modified. It may or may not be updated for later changes.

Readable

select-multiple

Whether to allow multiple files to be selected.

Readable | Writeable

shortcut-folders

A GListModel containing the shortcut folders that have been added with gtk_file_chooser_add_shortcut_folder().

The returned object should not be modified. It may or may not be updated for later changes.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for FileChooser

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for FileChooser

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for FileChooser

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl HasParamSpec for FileChooser

type ParamSpec = ParamSpecObject

type SetValue = FileChooser

Preferred value to be used as setter for the associated ParamSpec.

type BuilderFn = fn(_: &str) -> ParamSpecObjectBuilder<'_, FileChooser>

fn param_spec_builder() -> Self::BuilderFn

impl Hash for FileChooser

fn hash<H>(&self, state: &mut H)where H: Hasher,

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for FileChooser

fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Selfwhere Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Selfwhere Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Selfwhere Self: Sized + PartialOrd<Self>,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl<OT: ObjectType> PartialEq<OT> for FileChooser

fn eq(&self, other: &OT) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl<OT: ObjectType> PartialOrd<OT> for FileChooser

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &OT) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl StaticType for FileChooser

fn static_type() -> Type

Returns the type identifier of Self.
