Gtk, filter folders from FileChooserDialog

    Hi,

    I decided to post this message on the Gtk mailing list because I'm
    almost sure that the feature that I'm requesting does not exists.

    
    I have a program where users can select files or folders, and once
    they have selected them once, is not necessary to select them again,

    so i want to create a filter to remove the files or folders from the
    FileChooserDialog.

    
    Creating the filter for the files it wasn't so hard, i used the add_custom
    function with the Gtk.FileFilterFlags.FILENAME

    and i returned False/True with my custom function.

    
    But it seems that the Gtk.FileFilter function only works for
    files. I realized (by printing) that it only takes in mind the files
    of a folder and it ignores the folders.

    
    Is there anyway of hiding folders from the Gtk.FileChooser
    ? I was quite surprised of discovering this because the Gtk.FileChooser
    works for selecting folders, and the way of retrieving the folders
    path is by using get_filename.

    
    Thanks!
