Version 8 of File selection dialog for Tile

TR - This is a file selection dialog for Tile as a replacement for tk_getOpenFile, tk_getSaveFile, tk_chooseDirectory and even more! It was coded by Schelte Bron.

Commands

 ttk::getOpenFile
 ttk::getSaveFile
 ttk::chooseDirectory
 ttk::messageBox
 ttk::getAppendFile <- explain this one

sbron I added the getAppendFile version of the dialog because I needed a dialog that allows the user to select a log file. It is perfectly fine if the selected file did or did not exist. The other dialogs would either give a confusing warning for an existing file or not allow non-existing files at all.

Example (using xfce4 on Linux)

 package require tile
 source fsdialog.tcl
 tile::setTheme clam
 ttk::getOpenFile

Get the file here and just source it into your own script: http://www.tclcode.com/fsdialog/fsdialog.tcl

MSH: 08/06/2006 Hi, This is a great widget I have included it into one of my programs and have a few comments: The standard dialogs have a '-multiple' option which I use to select multiple files for opening I have looked at the code but do not have the time to understand it to add this function do you have the intention of adding this ? Pressing ESCAPE on the standard dialogs will cancel the dialog. I downloaded the file at home for another project and discovered that the code had changed, is it possible to add a few comments to the code or even better a quick message here to signal any changes, so that any users can recover the latest. Thanks again I was preparing to develop something (almost certainly not as pretty) for my linux versions as the default dialogs don't look good on a tiled interface.

TR - There is a bug in the widget. When you resize it, you can no longer select a file. I will try to fix this if I get the time to dig into the code ... MSH - Another bug is in the tk_chooseDirectory replacement which works great under linux but not under windows (at least 2000).
