.\" The -*- nroff -*- definitions below are for supplemental macros used
.\" in Tcl/Tk manual entries.
.\"
.\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
.\"	Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
.\"	type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
.\"	or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
.\"	and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
.\"	needed;  use .AS below instead)
.\"
.\" .AS ?type? ?name?
.\"	Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops.  Type and
.\"	name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
.\"	to .AP later.  If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
.\"
.\" .BS
.\"	Start box enclosure.  From here until next .BE, everything will be
.\"	enclosed in one large box.
.\"
.\" .BE
.\"	End of box enclosure.
.\"
.\" .CS
.\"	Begin code excerpt.
.\"
.\" .CE
.\"	End code excerpt.
.\"
.\" .VS ?version? ?br?
.\"	Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
.\"	of man pages.  The first argument is ignored and used for recording
.\"	the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
.\"	found and removed when they reach a certain age.  If another argument
.\"	is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
.\"
.\" .VE
.\"	End of vertical sidebar.
.\"
.\" .DS
.\"	Begin an indented unfilled display.
.\"
.\" .DE
.\"	End of indented unfilled display.
.\"
.\" .SO ?manpage?
.\"	Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget. The manpage
.\"	argument defines where to look up the standard options; if
.\"	omitted, defaults to "options". The options follow on successive
.\"	lines, in three columns separated by tabs.
.\"
.\" .SE
.\"	End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
.\"
.\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
.\"	Start of description of a specific option.  cmdName gives the
.\"	option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
.\"	the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
.\"	the option's class in the option database.
.\"
.\" .UL arg1 arg2
.\"	Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.
.\"
.\" .QW arg1 ?arg2?
.\"	Print arg1 in quotes, then arg2 normally (for trailing punctuation).
.\"
.\" .PQ arg1 ?arg2?
.\"	Print an open parenthesis, arg1 in quotes, then arg2 normally
.\"	(for trailing punctuation) and then a closing parenthesis.

.SH NAME
fsdialog \- dialog boxes for the user to select a file or directory\&.
.SH SYNOPSIS
package require \fBTk  8\&.6\&.6\fR
.sp
package require \fBfsdialog  1\&.0\fR
.sp
\fBttk::fsdialog\fR \fBconfigfile\fR ?\fIname\fR?
.sp
\fBttk::fsdialog\fR \fBhistory\fR ?\fIname\fR \fI\&.\&.\&.\fR?

.BE
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBfsdialog\fR package installs direct replacements for the
original \fBtk_getOpenFile\fR, \fBtk_getSaveFile\fR, and
\fBtk_chooseDirectory\fR commands of Tk\&. The replacements provide more
advanced features for user interaction\&. See the manual pages of the original
commands for the details on their usage\&.
.PP
To control the advanced features, the package provides some additional
commands\&.
.TP
\fBttk::fsdialog\fR \fBconfigfile\fR ?\fIname\fR?
Specify a configuration file for the dialogs to automatically store and
retrieve the preference settings and history\&.
By default, the package will use the file "\&.config/tcltk/fsdialog\&.cfg", but
only if that file exists\&.
Calling this command without the \fIname\fR argument will create the default
configuration file, so it is guaranteed to be used\&.
Specify an empty string for \fIname\fR to prevent the use of the default
configuration file, even if it exists\&.
.TP
\fBttk::fsdialog\fR \fBhistory\fR ?\fIname\fR \fI\&.\&.\&.\fR?
Get or seed the list of files and directories that will be presented to the
user in various drop-down lists\&. That list is normally maintained
automatically, but this command makes it available for external storage and
loading\&.
.TP
\fBttk::fsdialog\fR \fBpreferences\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR \fIoption\fR \fIvalue\fR \fI\&.\&.\&.\fR?
Configure preference settings\&. This command is provide for situations where
the use of a specific configuration file for the file system dialogs is not
desired\&. For example, when the preferences are going to be stored as part of
the overall application configuration\&.
.sp
If no \fIname\fR or \fIvalue\fR arguments are supplied, the command returns
a list containing alternating option names and values for the channel\&. If
\fIname\fR is supplied but no \fIvalue\fR then the command returns the
current value of the given option\&. If one or more pairs of \fIname\fR and
\fIvalue\fR are supplied, the command sets each of the named options to the
corresponding \fIvalue\fR; in this case the return value is an empty string\&.
.sp
The following settings are available:
.RS
.TP
\fBdetails\fR \fIboolean\fR
Show the short (0) or long (1) version of the file list\&. Default: 0\&.
.TP
\fBduopane\fR \fIboolean\fR
Combine files and directories in a single pane (0) or show directories in a
separate pane (1)\&. Default: 0\&.
.TP
\fBhidden\fR \fIboolean\fR
Show hidden files and directories\&. Default: 0\&.
.TP
\fBmixed\fR \fIboolean\fR
List directories before files (0) or list all entries without making a
distinction between files and directories (1)\&. This setting only has effect
when files and directories are shown in a single pane\&. Default: 0\&.
.TP
\fBreverse\fR \fIboolean\fR
Show the entries in reverse sorting order\&. Default: 0\&.
.TP
\fBsort\fR \fIproperty\fR
Select which property to use for sorting the entries in the file pane\&.
The directory pane is always sorted by name\&.
Possible values are \fBname\fR, \fBdate\fR, and \fBsize\fR\&. Default:
name\&.
