[Glade-users] About the filechooserbutton

[tristan.van.berkom at gmail.com (Tristan Van Berkom)]

Sure, a filechooserbutton will display the selected filename on the
button sometimes
with an icon on it, you can set it up to a previously saved value or
initial value at
startup time.

When the user presses the button a dialog will come up, when the dialog finishes
if the file has changed, you'll recieve a signal via the filechooser
interface that
the button implements.

You can add a GtkFileFilter to the chooser so that it will only accept
png or whatever
you decide (currently though you can NOT use the filefilter in Glade,
since there is
still no useful way to set it up through Glade).

Cheers,
       -Tristan
