I posted the above a few days ago and I'm guessing that no replies means there isn't a way to do this. If that's the case, can I suggest a change to the FileChooserWidget behaviour for a future version of gtk? Whenever the widget contains multiple selections I'd like to suggest that get_filename() should return the last item clicked, instead of returning a random item according to the current spec. I can't see much advantage in returning a random item whereas returning the last clicked item would be useful IMHO. For consistency it would probably also need to return the last clicked item, even if the last operation was to deselect that item. Don't know how other gtk users feel about this... anyone else feel that this would be better than the current behaviour?
