About a better filedialog

Hi guys

I did a pass (ported to P7, tonel, some little fixes) on the file-dialog developed by Peter Uhnak and I think that it would be good to propose it by default in the image.
what do you think?

https://github.com/Ducasse/file-dialog

I would also like that the filedialog remembers the last list of visited directory. (I will see if I can add this).
When Spec2 is out I would like to port it to Spec2.

Does anybody want to help? Because it would be super nice and I’m full with cleaning textEditor and pluggableTextMorph.

Re: About a better filedialog

What is cool is that you can add bookmarks :)

I did it to list the place where I store all my iceberg repo :)

I do not have time to personally work on this. But yes, having a better file dialog would be fantastic

Have a look at the one I propose and play with it.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks Stef!

The build is failing for Pharo 6.1 for some reason (I can't reproduce it locally), but I can look at that during the weekend...

For DrGeo, when loading a sketch from an arbitrary location, I use the
preview feature of the polymorph File Dialog. I don't see it in this
simple replacement of File Dialog.

Re: About a better filedialog

Preview is indeed not supported. My original idea was to show a regular GTInspector view on the file, but I never got around to implementing it.

Re: About a better filedialog

Something as simple as in the current filedialog will be far than
enough: an option to toggle a preview display. It is then the
responsibility of the user to code the preview view.

I am afraid an inspector view will look too hackish for a user like a
teacher or a kid.

Can you send a snippet so that I can see what it means because I do not understand
exactly how this is related to the fileDialog.

Re: About a better filedialog

Ok I see and how the preview is done?

You register some objects to the fileDialog?

Because I get this one.

So may be we are talking about a different one.

Re: About a better filedialog

Ah, may be we are not talking about the same tool. I am talking about
the FileDialogWindow, I think part of the Gary's Polymorph. And you
about FileList according to your screenshot.

Is Peter's FileDialog intend is to replace FileList? Or FileDialogWindow?

And we can keep for now the DileDialogWindow.

Re: About a better filedialog

Hi,

While a good FileDialog may have a preview… I think the best thing is that you can take the component and reuse it, adding the behaviour you want.
At least, that would be the purpose of Spec, isn’t?

So… you could not wait until someone add a preview and you could add the preview you like it :)

Esteban

Ps: Of course, I know that means time… and I know a new component has to provide the same functionalities as the older one at least. I was just pointing it :)
