Adds a 'choice' to the file chooser.

This is typically implemented as a combobox or, for boolean choices, as a checkbutton. You can select a value using gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.setChoice before the dialog is shown, and you can obtain the user-selected value in the gtk.dialog.Dialog.response signal handler using gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.getChoice.

Adds filter to the list of filters that the user can select between.

When a filter is selected, only files that are passed by that filter are displayed.

Note that the chooser takes ownership of the filter if it is floating, so you have to ref and sink it if you want to keep a reference.

Adds a folder to be displayed with the shortcut folders in a file chooser.

Gets the type of operation that the file chooser is performing.

Gets the currently selected option in the 'choice' with the given ID.

Gets whether file chooser will offer to create new folders.

Gets the current folder of chooser as gio.file.File.

Gets the current name in the file selector, as entered by the user.

This is meant to be used in save dialogs, to get the currently typed filename when the file itself does not exist yet.

Gets the gio.file.File for the currently selected file in the file selector.

If multiple files are selected, one of the files will be returned at random.

If the file chooser is in folder mode, this function returns the selected folder.

Lists all the selected files and subfolders in the current folder of chooser as gio.file.File.

Gets the current filter.

Gets the current set of user-selectable filters, as a list model.

See gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.addFilter and gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.removeFilter for changing individual filters.

You should not modify the returned list model. Future changes to chooser may or may not affect the returned model.

Gets whether multiple files can be selected in the file chooser.

Queries the list of shortcut folders in the file chooser.

You should not modify the returned list model. Future changes to chooser may or may not affect the returned model.

Removes a 'choice' that has been added with gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.addChoice.

Removes filter from the list of filters that the user can select between.

Removes a folder from the shortcut folders in a file chooser.

Sets the type of operation that the chooser is performing.

The user interface is adapted to suit the selected action.

For example, an option to create a new folder might be shown if the action is gtk.types.FileChooserAction.Save but not if the action is gtk.types.FileChooserAction.Open.

Selects an option in a 'choice' that has been added with gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.addChoice.

For a boolean choice, the possible options are "true" and "false".

Sets whether file chooser will offer to create new folders.

This is only relevant if the action is not set to be gtk.types.FileChooserAction.Open.

Sets the current folder for chooser from a gio.file.File.

Sets the current name in the file selector, as if entered by the user.

Note that the name passed in here is a UTF-8 string rather than a filename. This function is meant for such uses as a suggested name in a “Save As...” dialog. You can pass “Untitled.doc” or a similarly suitable suggestion for the name.

If you want to preselect a particular existing file, you should use gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.setFile instead.

Please see the documentation for those functions for an example of using gtk.file_chooser.FileChooser.setCurrentName as well.

Sets file as the current filename for the file chooser.

This includes 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.

If the file name isn’t in the current folder of chooser, then the current folder of chooser will be changed to the folder containing file.

Note that the file must exist, or nothing will be done except for the directory change.

If you are implementing a save dialog, you should use this function if you already have a file name to which the user may save; for example, when the user opens an existing file and then does “Save As…”. If you don’t have a file name already — for example, if the user just created a new file and is saving it for the first time, do not call this function.

Instead, use something similar to this:

static void
prepare_file_chooser (GtkFileChooser *chooser,
                      GFile          *existing_file)
{
  gboolean document_is_new = (existing_file == NULL);

  if (document_is_new)
    {
      GFile *default_file_for_saving = g_file_new_for_path ("./out.txt");
      // the user just created a new document
      gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder (chooser, default_file_for_saving, NULL);
      gtk_file_chooser_set_current_name (chooser, "Untitled document");
      g_object_unref (default_file_for_saving);
    }
  else
    {
      // the user edited an existing document
      gtk_file_chooser_set_file (chooser, existing_file, NULL);
    }
}

Sets the current filter.

Only the files that pass the filter will be displayed. If the user-selectable list of filters is non-empty, then the filter should be one of the filters in that list.

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.

Sets whether multiple files can be selected in the file chooser.

This is only relevant if the action is set to be gtk.types.FileChooserAction.Open or gtk.types.FileChooserAction.SelectFolder.

Set createFolders property.
