Re: Gtk, filter folders from FileChooserDialog

[rsm mailing_lists sent as]

Hi Ritesh,

I'appreciate your answer because it gives me some clues, but to be honest I'm totally lost.
I just started programming in python and using Gtk, so your C code is kinda like Chinese to me.
Any extra help / detailed information would be highly appreciated!

I was searching over the Internet "gtk implement property" but i haven't find anything to help me.

So far my biggest question is if the property has to be added inside my program, or if i have to modify
the GTK scripts? and then call the property from my program like a normal property.

Hi

GtkFileChooser(Widget)  does not allow user to filter by folder. One would need to implement this property 

   gboolean filter-folder  Write

Interface GtkFileChooser lists filter-folder

GtkFileChooserWidget implements filter-folder

set_filter-folder (gboolean val)

{ 

  ...

  _gtk_file_system_model_set_filter_folders (model, true);

}

  

Cheers

Hi,
I decided to post this message on the Gtk mailing list because I'm almost sure that the feature that I'm requesting does not exists.


I have a program where users can select files or folders, and once they have selected them once, is not necessary to select them again,
so i want to create a filter to remove the files or folders from the FileChooserDialog.

Creating the filter for the files it wasn't so hard, i used the add_custom function with the Gtk.FileFilterFlags.FILENAME
and i returned False/True with my custom function.

But it seems that the Gtk.FileFilter function only works for files. I realized (by printing) that it only takes in mind the files of a folder and it ignores the folders.

Is there anyway of hiding folders from the Gtk.FileChooser ? I was quite surprised of discovering this because the Gtk.FileChooser works for selecting folders, and the way of retrieving the folders path is by using get_filename.

Thanks!
