DESCRIPTION

25       This module provides a simple file chooser api that wraps
26       Gtk2::FileChooser objectively. The objective is a simple ways to prompt
27       a user to open or save a file.
28

OPTIONS

30       All public methods (and the entire class) support the following
31       options:
32
33       title => STRING
34           The text string to use as the title of the dialog window. Defaults
35           to either "Open" or "Save" based on the action context.
36
37       path => STRING
38           The path to a file or directory to initialize the dialog with.
39           Defaults to the current working directory.
40
41       parent_window => Gtk2::Window
42           Reference to the main application window.
43
44       destroy_with_parent => BOOL
45           When the parent_window is destroyed, what do we do? Defaults to
46           FALSE.
47
48       modal => BOOL
49           Does this dialog make the parent_window freeze while the dialog
50           exists.  Defaults to FALSE.
51
52       must_exist => BOOL
53           The end-user must supply a path to an existing file or directory.
54           Should the end-user provide a non-existant path, the dialog will be
55           respawned until an existing file is chosen. Defaults to FALSE.
56

PUBLIC METHODS

58       OBJECT = new ( OPTIONS | PATH )
59           Create a Gtk2::FileChooserDialog with the options given and show it
60           to the end-user. Once the user has selected a file return only the
61           path to the file and clean up. In the special case of being passed
62           only one argument, all options are set to defaults and the one
63           argument is used as the path argument.
64
65       RESPONSE = ask_to_open ( OPTIONS | PATH )
66           Supports all the same arguments as new(). This will create a new
67           Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ChooseFile, with some specific defaults, and
68           return the user's response. In the event of being given only one
69           argument, it will be used as the path option.
70
71       RESPONSE = ask_to_save ( OPTIONS | PATH )
72           Supports all the same arguments as new(). This will create a new
73           Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ChooseFile, with some specific defaults, and
74           return the user's response. In the event of being given only one
75           argument, it will be used as the path option.
