Python. Which I now have a whole half an evening of experience with. > gladevcp's file select or glade's regular file select? The normal Glade one, specifically the File Select Button, which operates and pops up a file-select dialog, and changes the caption to show the selected file. However I have not figured out how to filter the file display, nor how to access the chosen file name programmatically. The Glade editor allows you to attach a filefilter object to the button, but there is no way to add any filterspecs to the object inside the editor, and I have not managed to access it programmatically to use the add_filter method. The Glade editor also allows you to attach a file select dialogue to the button, but I am not sure why you would want to do that, unless perhaps that is required to access the filename. Google basically leaves me in the situation described here: http://xkcd.com/979/ -- atp The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
