      <para>This interface is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above.</para>
    </note>

    <para><link
linkend="class-gtkfilechooser"><classname>gtk.FileChooser</classname></link>
is an interface that can be implemented by file selection widgets. In PyGTK,
the main objects that implement this interface are <link
linkend="class-gtkfilechooserwidget"><classname>gtk.FileChooserWidget</classname></link>
and <link
linkend="class-gtkfilechooserdialog"><classname>gtk.FileChooserDialog</classname></link>. You
do not need to write an object that implements the <link
linkend="class-gtkfilechooser"><classname>gtk.FileChooser</classname></link>
interface unless you are trying to adapt an existing file selector to expose
a standard programming interface.</para>

    <para><link
    linkend="class-gtkfilechooser"><classname>gtk.FileChooser</classname></link>
    has several elements to its display:</para>

    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
	<simpara>a list of shortcut folders on the left that is divided into
two lists by a horizontal line:</simpara>
	<itemizedlist>
	  <listitem>
	    <simpara>a default list of folders usually including "Home" and
"Filesystem" with folders added using the <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--add-shortcut-folder"><methodname>add_shortcut_folder</methodname>()</link>
or <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--add-shortcut-folder-uri"><methodname>add_shortcut_folder_uri</methodname>()</link>
methods.</simpara>
	  </listitem>
	  <listitem>
	    <simpara>a list of user specified shortcut folders managed using
the "Add" and "Remove" buttons at the bottom of the file chooser.</simpara>
	  </listitem>
	</itemizedlist>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	<simpara>the "Add" and "Remove" buttons that allow a user to add or
remove a folder to or from the user's shortcut folder list.</simpara>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	<simpara>the current folder path as a series of buttons above the
file selection window. The buttons can be clicked to jump to the associated
ancestor folder.</simpara>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	<simpara>the file selection window that displays the contents of the
current folder in alphabetical order with last modified time.</simpara>
      </listitem>
   </itemizedlist>

    <refsect2 id="FileNamesAndEncodings">
      <title>File Names and Encodings</title>

      <para>When the user is finished selecting files in a <link
      linkend="class-gtkfilechooser"><classname>gtk.FileChooser</classname></link>,
      your program can get the selected names either as filenames or as
      URIs. For URIs, the normal escaping rules are applied if the URI
      contains non-ASCII characters. However, filenames are always returned
      in the character set specified by the result of calling the Python
      sys.getfilesystemencoding() function. On POSIX this is the actual
      on-disk encoding which might correspond to the locale settings of the
      process, or not. On Windows the file name encoding is UTF-8. Note that
      the Microsoft C library does not use UTF-8, but has separate APIs for
      current system code page and wide characters (UTF-16).</para>

      <important>
        <para>This means that while you can pass the result of <link
        linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--get-filename"><methodname>get_filename</methodname>()</link>
        to open() or os.open(), you may not be able to directly set it as
        the text of a <link
        linkend="class-gtklabel"><classname>gtk.Label</classname></link>
        widget unless you convert it first to UTF-8, which all PyGTK widgets
        expect. If necessary you should use the Python codecs to convert
        filenames into strings that can be passed to PyGTK widgets.</para>

      <title>Adding A Preview Widget</title>

      <para>You can add a custom preview widget to a file chooser and get
notification when the preview needs to be updated. To install a preview
widget, use the <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--set-preview-widget"><methodname>set_preview_widget</methodname>()</link>
method. Then, connect to the "update-preview" signal to be notified when
you need to update the contents of the preview.</para>

      <para>Your callback should use the <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--get-preview-filename"><methodname>get_preview_filename</methodname>()</link>
method to see what needs previewing. Once you have generated the preview for
the corresponding file, you must call the <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--set-preview-widget-active"><methodname>set_preview_widget_active</methodname>()</link>
method with a boolean flag that indicates whether your callback could
successfully generate a preview. An example use of a custom preview
is:</para>

    <programlisting>
    ...
    preview = gtk.Image()

    my_file_chooser.set_preview_widget(preview)
    my_file_chooser.connect("update-preview", update_preview_cb, preview)
    ...

  def update_preview_cb(file_chooser, preview):
    filename = file_chooser.get_preview_filename()
    try:
      pixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size(filename, 128, 128)
      preview.set_from_pixbuf(pixbuf)
      have_preview = True
    except:
      have_preview = False
    file_chooser.set_preview_widget_active(have_preview)
    return
  ...
</programlisting>

    <refsect2>
      <title>Adding Extra Widgets</title>

      <para> You can add extra widgets to a file chooser to provide options
that are not present in the default design. For example, you can add a <link
linkend="class-gtktogglebutton"><classname>gtk.ToggleButton</classname></link>
to give the user the option to open a file in read-only mode. You can use
the <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--set-extra-widget"><methodname>set_extra_widget</methodname>()</link>
method to insert additional widgets in a file chooser. For example:</para>

      <programlisting>
  toggle = gtk.CheckButton("Open file read-only")
  toggle.show ()
  my_file_chooser.set_extra_widget(toggle)
</programlisting>

      <para> If you want to set more than one extra widget in the file
chooser, you can use a container such as a <link
linkend="class-gtkvbox"><classname>gtk.VBox</classname></link> or a <link
linkend="class-gtktable"><classname>gtk.Table</classname></link> to hold
your widgets; then set the container as the whole extra widget.</para>

      <para>The "GtkFileChooserDefault::location-popup" signal is used to
make the file chooser show a "Location" dialog which the user can use to
manually type the name of the file he wishes to select. By default this is

      <para>The "GtkFileChooserDefault::down-folder" signal is used to make
the file chooser go to a child of the current folder in the file
hierarchy. The subfolder that will be used is displayed in the path bar
widget of the file chooser. For example, if the path bar is showing
"/foo/bar/baz", then this will cause the file chooser to switch to the "baz"
subfolder. By default this is bound to
<keycombo><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>Down</keycap> </keycombo>.</para>

      <para>
	The <methodname>set_file</methodname>() method
	Sets file as the current filename for the file chooser, by changing to the
	file's parent folder and actually selecting the file in list.
	If the chooser is in gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE mode, the file's base
	name will also appear in the dialog's file name entry. 
      </para>
      <para>
	If the file name isn't in the current folder of chooser, then the current
	folder of chooser will be changed to the folder containing filename.
	This is equivalent to a sequence of
	<link linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--unselect-all">gtk.FileChooser.unselect_all</link>()
	followed by <link linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--select-filename">gtk.FileChooser.select_filename</link>().
      </para>
      <para>
	Note that the file must exist, or nothing will be done except for the directory change.
      </para>
      <para>
	If you are implementing a File/Save As... dialog, you should use this function
	if you already have a file name to which the user may save; for example,
	when the user opens an existing file and then does File/Save As... on it.
	If you don't have a file name already — for example, if the user just created a
	new file and is saving it for the first time, do not call this function. Instead,
	use something similar to this:
      </para>

      <para>The "confirm-overwrite" signal is emitted when it is appropriate
to present a confirmation dialog when the user has selected a file name that
already exists. The signal is only emitted when the file chooser "action" property is set to <literal>gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE</literal>.</para>

      <para> Most applications just need to turn on the
"do-overwrite-confirmation" property (or call the <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--set-do-overwrite-confirmation"><methodname>set_do_overwrite_confirmation</methodname>()</link>
method), to automatically get a stock confirmation dialog. Applications
that need to customize this behavior should do that, and also connect to
the "confirm-overwrite" signal.</para>

      <para>A signal handler for this signal must return one of the <xref
linkend="gtk-filechooser-confirmation-constants"
endterm="gtk-filechooser-confirmation-constants-title"></xref> that
indicates the action to take. If the handler determines that the user wants
to select a different filename, it should return
<literal>gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_SELECT_AGAIN</literal>. If it
determines that the user is satisfied with his choice of file name, it
should return
<literal>gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_ACCEPT_FILENAME</literal>. On the
other hand, if it determines that the stock confirmation dialog should be
used, it should return
<literal>gtkfile_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_CONFIRM</literal>. The following
psuedo-code example illustrates this.</para>

      <programlisting>
def confirm_overwrite_callback(chooser):
  uri = chooser.get_uri()

  if is_uri_read_only(uri):
    if user_wants_to_replace_read_only_file (uri):
      return gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_ACCEPT_FILENAME
    else
      return gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_SELECT_AGAIN
  else
    # fall back to the default dialog
    return gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_CONFIRM 

...

chooser = gtk.FileChooserDialog(...)

chooser.set_do_overwrite_confirmation(True)
chooser.connect("confirm-overwrite", confirm_overwrite_callback)

if chooser.run() == gtk.RESPONSE_ACCEPT:
  save_to_file(chooser.get_filename()

chooser.destroy()

      <para>The "update-preview" signal is emitted when the preview when a
file chooser should be regenerated. For example, this can happen when the
currently selected file changes. You should use this signal if you want your
file chooser to have a preview widget.</para>

      <para>Once you have installed a preview widget with the <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--set-preview-widget"><methodname>set_preview_widget</methodname>()</link>
method, you should update it when this signal is emitted. You can use the
methods <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--get-preview-filename"><methodname>get_preview_filename</methodname>()</link>
or <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--get-preview-uri"><methodname>get_preview_uri</methodname>()</link>
to get the name of the file to preview. Your widget may not be able to
preview all kinds of files so your callback must call the <link
linkend="method-gtkfilechooser--set-preview-widget-active"><methodname>set_preview_widget_active</methodname>()</link>
to inform the file chooser if the preview was generated successfully or
not.</para>
