Description

Functions

GtkFileFilterFunc ()

gboolean
(*GtkFileFilterFunc) (const GtkFileFilterInfo *filter_info,
                      gpointer data);

gtk_file_filter_new ()

GtkFileFilter *
gtk_file_filter_new (void);

Creates a new GtkFileFilter with no rules added to it. Such a filter doesn't accept any files, so is not particularly useful until you add rules with gtk_file_filter_add_mime_type(), gtk_file_filter_add_pattern(), or gtk_file_filter_add_custom(). To create a filter that accepts any file, use:

1
2
GtkFileFilter *filter = gtk_file_filter_new ();
gtk_file_filter_add_pattern (filter, "*");

Returns

a new GtkFileFilter

Since: 2.4


gtk_file_filter_set_name ()

void
gtk_file_filter_set_name (GtkFileFilter *filter,
                          const gchar *name);

Sets the human-readable name of the filter; this is the string that will be displayed in the file selector user interface if there is a selectable list of filters.

Parameters

filter

a GtkFileFilter

 

name

the human-readable-name for the filter, or NULL to remove any existing name.

[allow-none]

Since: 2.4


gtk_file_filter_get_name ()

const gchar *
gtk_file_filter_get_name (GtkFileFilter *filter);

Gets the human-readable name for the filter. See gtk_file_filter_set_name().

Parameters

filter

a GtkFileFilter

 

Returns

The human-readable name of the filter, or NULL. This value is owned by GTK+ and must not be modified or freed.

Since: 2.4


gtk_file_filter_add_mime_type ()

void
gtk_file_filter_add_mime_type (GtkFileFilter *filter,
                               const gchar *mime_type);

Adds a rule allowing a given mime type to filter .

Parameters

filter

A GtkFileFilter

 

mime_type

name of a MIME type

 

Since: 2.4


gtk_file_filter_add_pattern ()

void
gtk_file_filter_add_pattern (GtkFileFilter *filter,
                             const gchar *pattern);

Adds a rule allowing a shell style glob to a filter.

Parameters

filter

a GtkFileFilter

 

pattern

a shell style glob

 

Since: 2.4


gtk_file_filter_add_pixbuf_formats ()

void
gtk_file_filter_add_pixbuf_formats (GtkFileFilter *filter);

Adds a rule allowing image files in the formats supported by GdkPixbuf.

Parameters

filter

a GtkFileFilter

 

Since: 2.6


gtk_file_filter_add_custom ()

void
gtk_file_filter_add_custom (GtkFileFilter *filter,
                            GtkFileFilterFlags needed,
                            GtkFileFilterFunc func,
                            gpointer data,
                            GDestroyNotify notify);

Adds rule to a filter that allows files based on a custom callback function. The bitfield needed which is passed in provides information about what sorts of information that the filter function needs; this allows GTK+ to avoid retrieving expensive information when it isn't needed by the filter.

Parameters

filter

a GtkFileFilter

 

needed

bitfield of flags indicating the information that the custom filter function needs.

 

func

callback function; if the function returns TRUE, then the file will be displayed.

 

data

data to pass to func

 

notify

function to call to free data when it is no longer needed.

 

Since: 2.4


gtk_file_filter_get_needed ()

GtkFileFilterFlags
gtk_file_filter_get_needed (GtkFileFilter *filter);

Gets the fields that need to be filled in for the structure passed to gtk_file_filter_filter()

This function will not typically be used by applications; it is intended principally for use in the implementation of GtkFileChooser.

Parameters

filter

a GtkFileFilter

 

Returns

bitfield of flags indicating needed fields when calling gtk_file_filter_filter()

Since: 2.4


gtk_file_filter_filter ()

gboolean
gtk_file_filter_filter (GtkFileFilter *filter,
                        const GtkFileFilterInfo *filter_info);

Tests whether a file should be displayed according to filter . The GtkFileFilterInfo structure filter_info should include the fields returned from gtk_file_filter_get_needed().

This function will not typically be used by applications; it is intended principally for use in the implementation of GtkFileChooser.

Parameters

filter

a GtkFileFilter

 

filter_info

a GtkFileFilterInfo structure containing information about a file.

 

Returns

TRUE if the file should be displayed

Since: 2.4
