Master issue for standard dialog features

[andlabs]

The current dialog system needs to be replaced before any of these can be done.

• uiOpenFolder()
• uiSaveFolder() (maybe)
• not requiring a parent window (unlikely, but still listed)
• selecting multiple files
• file type filters (see uiOpen/SaveFile filetype restrictions? #181 for notes)

This issue will be locked until I merge all the existing issues.

It would be cool if something like this were possible (custom elements in an attached dialog): But I don't know if this exists on other platforms.

+1 for this.
Also, it would be cool to have multiple file/folder selection feature.

Would be great to have ui.OpenDir().

I need a way to select a directory in the file system. Then my code will traverse that directory for files.
Do I have to wait for the readiness of ui.OpenDir(), or there is something else I can use.

Thanks a lot!

@mischnic that would be custom dialogs.

To everyone: I still haven't figured out how I'm going to do dialogs. I didn't seem to link it here, so this is the context for what the problem with just adding things now is. I need to formally rewrite this for this specific audience, though.

Looking forward to this new feature...

Is there any progress with this? I'm really looking forward to this. Being able to open a folder would be fantastic! :)

It would be nice to center a dialog on top of its parent window if it is specified and center it in entire screen otherwise. Tk does exactly that with its message boxes.
