There's a gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames () function and a
gtk_file_chooser_get_files () function
<http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-files>http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-filenames
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-files
Is it what you are looking for ?
Or maybe you need to handle the selection-changed signal :

Hope this helps.
Regards.

I'm working with a Gtk::FileChooserWidget (where the user can select multiple

file I want to display some information about it in a separate box.
But how can I found out which file just got selected? According to the
documentation, 'get_filename()' returns a selection at random if there's more
than one file selected. So how can I find out which file the user last clicked?
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?
