✨ Gtk2::FileChooserDialog — the vibe ✨

okay bestie so like, welcome to the Gtk2::FileChooserDialog page 💖 this is a wrapper for GtkFileChooserDialog, and yes it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world. it's giving "i just want to pick a file, why is there a whole family tree". and honestly? same. let's go 🫶

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

the ancestry. the bloodline. the way this thing is so deep in the family tree, iykyk 👑

Glib::Object
+----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
     +----Gtk2::Object
          +----Gtk2::Widget
               +----Gtk2::Container
                    +----Gtk2::Bin

🦋 INTERFACES 🦋

these are the interfaces it implements, no cap:

Glib::Object::_Unregistered::AtkImplementorIface
Gtk2::Buildable
Gtk2::FileChooser

🎀 METHODS 🎀

widget = Gtk2::FileChooserDialog->new ($title, $parent, $action, ...)

making a whole new dialog, slay ✨ here's what you're feeding it:

  • $title (string) — the name it wears up top
  • $parent (Gtk2::Window or undef) — its parent window, or literally nothing, your call
  • $action (Gtk2::FileChooserAction) — what kind of choosing we're doing here
  • ... (list) — a list of button-text => response-id pairs, aka the buttons you want on it

widget = Gtk2::FileChooserDialog->new_with_backend ($title, $parent, $action, $backend, ...)

same energy as above but with a backend twist 🔥

  • $title (string)
  • $parent (Gtk2::Window or undef)
  • $action (Gtk2::FileChooserAction)
  • ... (list) list of button-text => response-id pairs
  • $backend (string)
