A native file chooser dialog, suitable for “File/Open” or “File/Save” commands.
FileChooserNative is an abstraction of a dialog box suitable for use with “File/Open” or “File/Save as” commands. By default, this just uses a Gtk::FileChooserDialog to implement the actual dialog. However, on certain platforms, such as Windows, the native platform file chooser is used instead. When the application is running in a sandboxed environment without direct filesystem access (such as Flatpak), FileChooserNative may call the proper APIs (portals) to let the user choose a file and make it available to the application.
While the API of FileChooserNative closely mirrors FileChooserDialog, the main difference is that there is no access to any Gtk::Window or Gtk::Widget for the dialog. This is required, as there may not be one in the case of a platform native dialog. Showing, hiding and running the dialog is handled by the NativeDialog functions.
Response Codes
FileChooserNative inherits from NativeDialog, which means it will return Gtk::ResponseType::ACCEPT if the user accepted, and Gtk::ResponseType::CANCEL if he pressed cancel. It can also return Gtk::ResponseType::DELETE_EVENT if the window was unexpectedly closed.
There are a few things in the FileChooser API that are not possible to use with FileChooserNative, as such use would prohibit the use of a native dialog.
There is no support for the signals that are emitted when the user navigates in the dialog, including:
You can also not use the methods that directly control user navigation:
If you need any of the above you will have to use FileChooserDialog directly.
No operations that change the dialog work while the dialog is visible. Set all the properties that are required before showing the dialog.
Win32 details
On windows the IFileDialog implementation (added in Windows Vista) is used. It supports many of the features that FileChooserDialog does, but there are some things it does not handle:
If any of these features are used the regular FileChooserDialog will be used in place of the native one.
Portal details
When the org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser portal is available on the session bus, it is used to bring up an out-of-process file chooser. Depending on the kind of session the application is running in, this may or may not be a GTK+ file chooser. In this situation, the following things are not supported and will be silently ignored:
