file dialog

Hi,

I need to load a file from the disk.

I am invoking:
UIManager default
chooseFileMatching: '*.mse'
label: 'Import model from MSE file.'.

The problem is that I do not see any files, even though I have files
with .mse ending in the directory. Also, even if I pass '*.*' I still
cannot see the files (only the directories).

Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,
Doru

I could reproduce it and debugging I noticed that

FileDialogWindow>>validExtensions: aList
    "Set the filter for the files to be those with the given extensions."

    aList notEmpty
        ifTrue: [self defaultExtension: aList first].
    self fileSelectionBlock: [:de |
        de isDirectory
            ifTrue: [self showDirectoriesInFileList]
            ifFalse: [(self fileNamePattern match: de name) and: [
                        aList includes: (FileDirectory extensionFor: de name asLowercase)]]]

I think there can be a problem with this method. Here, aList will be '*.*' and as you can imagine that string doesn't includes any of the extensions. Perhaps we can change that include for a match: or something like that. To see this, remove the line
aList includes: (FileDirectory extensionFor: de name asLowercase

and you will see that now all the files are shown.

we should open a ticket but I don't know if this should be 1.0 tag

best,

Mariano

Re: file dialog

Thanks Mariano,

The following code works:

UIManager default
chooseFileMatching: #('mse')
label: 'Import model from MSE file.'.

The problem is indeed that you have to pass a valid set of extensions,
so * is not allowed. Anyway, it works for the moment but perhaps it
should be changed to:

FileDialogWindow>>validExtensions: aList
"Set the filter for the files to be those with the given
extensions."

aList notEmpty
ifTrue: [self defaultExtension: aList first].
self fileSelectionBlock: [:de |
de isDirectory
ifTrue: [self showDirectoriesInFileList]
ifFalse: [(self fileNamePattern match: de name) and: [
aList contains: [:each | each match:
(FileDirectory extensionFor:
de name asLowercase) ] ]]]

On the other hand the fileNamePattern seems to already have the job of
filtering, so I do not really understand why we need aList.

Cheers,
Doru

Re: file dialog

In reply to this post by Tudor Girba-3

The ui manager method is designed to be compatible with the pre-existing
MorphicToollBuilder usage...

You should write as such:

UIManager default
chooseFileMatching: #('mse')
label: 'Import model from MSE file.'.

It is unfortunate that the method name is somewhat misleading.

The fileNamePattern is the dynamic user filter (the text area under the
tree).
The extentsions list is designed to limit the file types under program
control.

Re: file dialog

In reply to this post by Tudor Girba-3

Unfortunately, the current protocol of UIManager is rather limited.
Would be good to flesh out properly with colour choosers, font choosers etc.

For the moment your best bet is:

UITheme builder fileSave: 'Your title here'

which returns a new empty file stream or nil if cancelled.
There are other variants, see TEasilyThemed for others.

In Sophie we built out the native file dialog handlers for Windows and
macintosh.
Someone might want to harvest them?

People *like* working with the native platform file choosers/pickers.

Extensive use of FFI tho, but a fall back to squeak like file dialogs
if we found
the platform didn't support the native ones.

Re: file dialog

In reply to this post by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Nothing generic, just enough for us to get Postscript/PDF out to file for

Re: file dialog

Gary,

Were you able to pipe the data to lpr, or did you find it necessary to write a file? The latter is not a disaster, but it's always nice to skip that step if possible.

Re: file dialog

File write at present, not ideal...
Allows checking for when the file is spooled amongst other things.
