nfd-rs

nfd-rs is a Rust binding to the library nativefiledialog, that provides a convenient cross-platform interface to opening file dialogs on Linux, OS X and Windows.

Currently, only single file and save dialogs are supported, and the crate has been tested only on OS X. And yes, APIs may break with newer versions.

Usage

• Follow the instructions here to build the libraries in C and an OS-specific language. Then, set the NFD_LIB_DIR environment variable to the path of the directory in which the libraries are stored.

• Add the dependency nfd in your Cargo.toml

  [dependencies]
  nfd = { git = "https://github.com/saurvs/nfd-rs.git" }
  

• Open a single file dialog

  extern crate nfd;
  
  use nfd::*;
  
  fn main() {
  
    let result = open_file_dialog(None, None);
  
    match result {
        NFDResult::Okay(file_path) => println!("File path = {:?}", file_path),
        NFDResult::Cancel => println!("User canceled"),
        NFDResult::Error(error) => println!("Error: {}", error),
    }
  
  }
