Signal Prototypes


"filename-changed"
            void        user_function      (GimpFileSelection *gimpfileselection,
                                            gpointer user_data);

Description

This widget is used to enter filenames or directories.

There is a GtkEntry for entering the filename manually and a "..." button which will pop up a GtkFileSelection dialog.

You can restrict the GimpFileSelection to directories. In this case the filename listbox of the GtkFileSelection dialog will be hidden.

If you specify check_valid as TRUE in gimp_file_selection_new() the entered filename will be checked for validity and a pixmap will be shown which indicates if the file exists or not.

Whenever the user changes the filename, the "filename_changed" signal will be emitted.

gimp_file_selection_new ()

GtkWidget*  gimp_file_selection_new         (const gchar *title,
                                             const gchar *filename,
                                             gboolean dir_only,
                                             gboolean check_valid);

Creates a new GimpFileSelection widget.

title : The title of the GtkFileSelection dialog.
filename : The initial filename.
dir_only : TRUE if the file selection should accept directories only.
check_valid : TRUE if the widget should check if the entered file really exists.
Returns : A pointer to the new GimpFileSelection widget.

gimp_file_selection_get_filename ()

gchar*      gimp_file_selection_get_filename
                                            (GimpFileSelection *selection);

Note that you have to g_free() the returned string.

selection : The file selection you want to know the filename from.
Returns : The file or directory the user has entered.

gimp_file_selection_set_filename ()

void        gimp_file_selection_set_filename
                                            (GimpFileSelection *selection,
                                             const gchar *filename);

If you specified check_valid as TRUE in gimp_file_selection_new() the GimpFileSelection will immediately check the validity of the file name.

selection : The file selection you want to set the filename for.
filename : The new filename.
