Checklist

  • I have searched the issue tracker for open issues that relate to the same feature, before opening a new one.
  • This issue only relates to a single feature. I will open new issues for any other features.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I have tried searching through all issues but am unable to find any that addresses this. The closest I found is #2981 but it is not exactly the same.

Currently, the FolderDialog seems to lack the feature of creating a new folder to be selected. For example, if the directory /Users/me/ exists, but I want to select the folder /Users/me/folder which does not already exist, I would have to create the folder separately first before selecting it from the FolderDialog.

Is it possible to construct a solution with the existing API?

I believe it is possible to add this functionality via FileDialog. What I have in mind is something along of the lines shown below.

type fileDialog struct {
        ...
        newFolder        *widget.Button
        ...
}

f.newFolder = widget.NewButton(label, func() {
        // Get curr dir via f.dir
        // Create folder via os.Mkdir
        // Refresh dialog
})

Describe the solution you'd like to see.

As proposed above.

feat: create new folder from file/folder dialog (#3178)
d025312 
This PR introduces the ability to create new folder directly from the file/folder dialog. This is motivated by the hassle of having to create a folder separately before being able to select it via the folder dialog.

Changes were made to makeUI() to include a create folder button in the options container which would open up a entry form dialog for user to input the new folder name before executing the mkdir syscall. Directory is then refreshed to enable user to select the newly created folder.

Fixes #3174
