Re: [Gimp-developer] Python-fu: difference between PF_FILE and PF_FILENAME, and how to ask for a file name to *create*

[Jerry Baker <jbaker gimpthoughts com>]

The only way that I know of is to use a widget for the directory and one for the file, then os.path.join them...

import os

from gimpfu import *

gettext.install("gimp20-python", gimp.locale_directory, unicode=True)

def jbtest(project_directory, new_file):

    final_str = "Test Text..."
   
    output_file = open(os.path.join(project_directory, new_file), 'w')
    output_file.write(final_str)
    output_file.close()

register(
    "jbtest",
    N_("Choose a Directory and Filename:"),
    "Create a new file in the specified directory",
    "Jerry Baker",
    "Jerry Baker",
    "11/14/2011",
    N_("jbtest"),
    "",
    [
        # --- Parameters
        (PF_DIRNAME, "project_directory", _("Project Directory:"), ""),
        (PF_STRING, "new_file", _("File Name:"), _("new_file.txt")),
    ],
    [
        # --- Results
    ],
    jbtest,
    menu="<Image>/_Dev",
    domain=("gimp20-python", gimp.locale_directory)
    )

main()

OK, makes sense. Now, how can I prompt for the name of a file that doesn't exist (yet)?

PF_FILE: Allows the user to choose a file or a directory depending on what your default string is.

If you put a '/' at the end of the default string it will prompt the user for a directory.
If you leave off the '/' at the end of the default string it will prompt the user for a file.

Examples:
(PF_FILE, "pf_afile", _("Choose File:"), "/home/jbaker"),    # Choose a file
(PF_FILE, "pf_adir", _("Choose Directory:"), "/home/jbaker/"),    # Choose a directory

or

(PF_FILE, "pf_afile", _("Choose File:"), ""),
(PF_FILE, "pf_adir", _("Choose Directory:"), "/"),

I'm writing a python plugin that saves things to a file, and I'm trying 
to come up with the right parameter type to obtain a filename form the user.

There are PF_FILE and PF_FILENAME parameter types. Both correspond to a 
string with the file name in it. Furthermore the file must exist for 
both, so they cannot be used for the name of a file to be created? Why 
are there two types if they do the same thing? Am I missing something?
