<p>
<a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html" title="GtkFileChooser"><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span></a> can be used in two modes, to select a single file at a
time or to select a set of more than one file. To set this, use
<a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-set-select-multiple" title="gtk_file_chooser_set_select_multiple ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_set_select_multiple()</code></a>. In single-selection
mode, you can use <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-filename" title="gtk_file_chooser_get_filename"><code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_get_filename()</code></a> to get a file
name from the local file system or <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-uri" title="gtk_file_chooser_get_uri ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_get_uri()</code></a> to
get a full-formed URI. In multiple-selection mode, you can use
<a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-filenames" title="gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames"><code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames()</code></a> to get a <span class="type">GSList</span> of filename strings, or
<a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-uris" title="gtk_file_chooser_get_uris ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_get_uris()</code></a> to get a list of URI strings.
</p>
<p>
Also, you can configure <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html" title="GtkFileChooser"><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span></a> to select files
or folders. Consider a backup program that needs to let the
user select a folder that will be backed up along with its
subfolders. To configure whether <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html" title="GtkFileChooser"><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span></a> is used to select
files or folders, use <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-set-action" title="gtk_file_chooser_set_action ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_set_action()</code></a>. In
addition, this lets you configure whether the file chooser will
be used to select existing files or folders (e.g. for
"File/Open"), or to type in new filenames (for
"File/Save As...").
