Implementations

impl AsyncFileDialog

pub fn new() -> Self

New file dialog builder

pub fn add_filter(self, name: &str, extensions: &[&str]) -> Self

Add file extension filter.

Name of the filter will be displayed on supported platforms

• Windows
• Linux

On platforms that don’t support filter names, all filters will be merged into one filter

pub fn set_directory<P: AsRef<Path>>(self, path: P) -> Self

Set starting directory of the dialog.

• Linux
• Windows
• Mac

pub fn set_file_name(self, file_name: &str) -> Self

Set starting file name of the dialog.

Supported Platforms:

• Windows
• Linux
• Mac

pub fn set_parent<W: HasRawWindowHandle>(self, parent: &W) -> Self

Set parent windows explicitly (optional) Suported in: macos and windows

impl AsyncFileDialog

pub fn pick_file(self) -> impl Future<Output = Option<FileHandle>>

Pick one file

pub fn pick_files(self) -> impl Future<Output = Option<Vec<FileHandle>>>

Pick multiple files

pub fn pick_folder(self) -> impl Future<Output = Option<FileHandle>>

Pick one folder

Does not exist in WASM32

pub fn save_file(self) -> impl Future<Output = Option<FileHandle>>

Opens save file dialog

Does not exist in WASM32

Platform specific notes regarding save dialog filters:

• On MacOs
  • If filter is set, all files will be grayed out (no matter the extension sadly)
  • If user does not type an extension MacOs will append first available extension from filters list
  • If user types in filename with extension MacOs will check if it exists in filters list, if not it will display appropriate message
• On GTK
  • It only filters which already existing files get shown to the user
  • It does not append extensions automatically
  • It does not prevent users from adding any unsupported extension
• On Win:
  • If no extension was provided it will just add currently selected one
  • If selected extension was typed in by the user it will just return
  • If unselected extension was provided it will append selected one at the end, example: test.png.txt
