    Question gtk -> GtkFileSelection

    when using the GtkFileSelection dialog, is it possible to stop the user from being able to choose directories, and only let them choos files?

    thnx

    I'm not particularly familiar with GTK, but in other gui environs, I have been able to feed the file selector with only files that pass a certain file-test.

    A rough psuedo code would looke something like:

    while(list directory)
    {
    *file = DIRECTORY_LISTING;

    if (*file is a dir)
    {
    file_dialogue = *file;
    }
    }

    You'll probably have to check the permissions of the file for the file-test, just remember that the format for a directory is drwxrwxrwx, rather than -rwxrwxrwx.

    Hope this is helpful.
