PF_DIRNAME: Only allows the user to choose a directory.
PF_FILE: Allows the user to choose a file or a directory depending on what your default string is.
If you put a '/' at the end of the default string it will prompt the user for a directory.
If you leave off the '/' at the end of the default string it will prompt the user for a file.
Examples:
(PF_FILE, "pf_afile", _("Choose File:"), "/home/jbaker"), # Choose a file
(PF_FILE, "pf_adir", _("Choose Directory:"), "/home/jbaker/"), # Choose a directory
or
(PF_FILE, "pf_afile", _("Choose File:"), ""),
(PF_FILE, "pf_adir", _("Choose Directory:"), "/"),

Subject: Python-fu: difference between PF_FILE and PF_FILENAME, and how to ask for a file name to *create*
Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2011 22:44:21 +0100
I'm writing a python plugin that saves things to a file, and I'm trying to come up with the right parameter type to obtain a filename form the user. There are PF_FILE and PF_FILENAME parameter types. Both correspond to a string with the file name in it. Furthermore the file must exist for both, so they cannot be used for the name of a file to be created? Why are there two types if they do the same thing? Am I missing something? _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
