FileChooserButton

The #GtkFileChooserButton is a widget that lets the user select a file. It implements the #GtkFileChooser interface. Visually, it is a file name with a button to bring up a #GtkFileChooserDialog. The user can then use that dialog to change the file associated with that button. This widget does not support setting the #GtkFileChooser:select-multiple property to true.

Create a button to let the user select a file in /etc

{
  GtkWidget *button;

  button = gtk_file_chooser_button_new (_("Select a file"),
                                        GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN);
  gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (button),
                                       "/etc");
}

The #GtkFileChooserButton supports the #GtkFileChooserActions gtk.types.FileChooserAction.Open and gtk.types.FileChooserAction.SelectFolder.

> The #GtkFileChooserButton will ellipsize the label, and will thus > request little horizontal space. To give the button more space, > you should call gtk.widget.Widget.getPreferredSize, > gtk.file_chooser_button.FileChooserButton.setWidthChars, or pack the button in > such a way that other interface elements give space to the > widget.

CSS nodes

GtkFileChooserButton has a CSS node with name “filechooserbutton”, containing a subnode for the internal button with name “button” and style class “.file”.

setFile bool setFile(gio.file.File file): Sets file as the current filename for the file chooser, by changing to the file’s parent folder and actually selecting the file in list. If the chooser is in gtk.types.FileChooserAction.Save mode, the file’s base name will also appear in the dialog’s file name entry.
setFilename bool setFilename(string filename): Sets filename as the current filename for the file chooser, by changing to the file’s parent folder and actually selecting the file in list; all other files will be unselected.

Setting the current filter when the list of filters is empty is useful if you want to restrict the displayed set of files without letting the user change it.
setLocalOnly void setLocalOnly(bool localOnly): Sets whether only local files can be selected in the file selector. If local_only is true (the default), then the selected file or files are guaranteed to be accessible through the operating systems native file system and therefore the application only needs to worry about the filename functions in #GtkFileChooser, like gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.getFilename, rather than the URI functions like gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.getUri,
setPreviewWidget void setPreviewWidget(gtk.widget.Widget previewWidget): Sets an application-supplied widget to use to display a custom preview of the currently selected file. To implement a preview, after setting the preview widget, you connect to the #GtkFileChooser::update-preview signal, and call gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.getPreviewFilename or gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.getPreviewUri on each change. If you can display a preview of the new file, update your widget and set the preview active using gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.setPreviewWidgetActive. Otherwise, set the preview inactive.
setPreviewWidgetActive void setPreviewWidgetActive(bool active): Sets whether the preview widget set by gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.setPreviewWidget should be shown for the current filename. When active is set to false, the file chooser may display an internally generated preview of the current file or it may display no preview at all. See gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.setPreviewWidget for more details.
setSelectMultiple void setSelectMultiple(bool selectMultiple): Sets whether multiple files can be selected in the file selector. This is only relevant if the action is set to be gtk.types.FileChooserAction.Open or gtk.types.FileChooserAction.SelectFolder.
setShowHidden void setShowHidden(bool showHidden): Sets whether hidden files and folders are displayed in the file selector.
setUri bool setUri(string uri): Sets the file referred to by uri as the current file for the file chooser, by changing to the URI’s parent folder and actually selecting the URI in the list. If the chooser is gtk.types.FileChooserAction.Save mode, the URI’s base name will also appear in the dialog’s file name entry.
setUsePreviewLabel void setUsePreviewLabel(bool useLabel): Sets whether the file chooser should display a stock label with the name of the file that is being previewed; the default is true. Applications that want to draw the whole preview area themselves should set this to false and display the name themselves in their preview widget.
unselectAll void unselectAll(): Unselects all the files in the current folder of a file chooser.
unselectFile void unselectFile(gio.file.File file): Unselects the file referred to by file. If the file is not in the current directory, does not exist, or is otherwise not currently selected, does nothing.

If you can display a preview of the new file, update your widget and set the preview active using gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.setPreviewWidgetActive. Otherwise, set the preview inactive.
setPreviewWidgetActive void setPreviewWidgetActive(bool active): Sets whether the preview widget set by gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.setPreviewWidget should be shown for the current filename. When active is set to false, the file chooser may display an internally generated preview of the current file or it may display no preview at all. See gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.setPreviewWidget for more details.
setSelectMultiple void setSelectMultiple(bool selectMultiple): Sets whether multiple files can be selected in the file selector. This is only relevant if the action is set to be gtk.types.FileChooserAction.Open or gtk.types.FileChooserAction.SelectFolder.
setShowHidden void setShowHidden(bool showHidden): Sets whether hidden files and folders are displayed in the file selector.
setUri bool setUri(string uri): Sets the file referred to by uri as the current file for the file chooser, by changing to the URI’s parent folder and actually selecting the URI in the list. If the chooser is gtk.types.FileChooserAction.Save mode, the URI’s base name will also appear in the dialog’s file name entry.
setUsePreviewLabel void setUsePreviewLabel(bool useLabel): Sets whether the file chooser should display a stock label with the name of the file that is being previewed; the default is true. Applications that want to draw the whole preview area themselves should set this to false and display the name themselves in their preview widget.
unselectAll void unselectAll(): Unselects all the files in the current folder of a file chooser.
unselectFile void unselectFile(gio.file.File file): Unselects the file referred to by file. If the file is not in the current directory, does not exist, or is otherwise not currently selected, does nothing.
unselectFilename void unselectFilename(string filename): Unselects a currently selected filename. If the filename is not in the current directory, does not exist, or is otherwise not currently selected, does nothing.
unselectUri void unselectUri(string uri): Unselects the file referred to by uri. If the file is not in the current directory, does not exist, or is otherwise not currently selected, does nothing.
