JOB Purpose: This supplement package for Tcl/Tk implements a drag&drop enabled file or directory selection dialog (GUI).

D&D is optional, as it is not supported on all platforms (e.g. for undroidwish/Androidwish,...).

Usage:

  • In case, a function or an application can handle either a single file or maybe a directory (which contains one or more files) the getfileordirectory dialog might be useful.
  • The getfileordirectory dialog e.g. is integrated in the HelpViewer application.

Features:

  • Autodetects the file type - in other words: just select whatever filetype you want with the Explorer (WIN) / Finder (OSX) and D&D it onto the boxed dialog area.
  • In addition to the file/directory selection functionality, there is also a listbox availabe, which manages the **Most recently used files or directories**.

The package has (hopefully) reached a mature state. Nevertheless, anyone is invited to share ideas for some more improvements whatsoever.
