It appears from your question that your objective is to create a way for the user to be able to select multiple file(s) through a single dialog that shows all files/folders, so that they don't have to select each file/folder individually. Is this requirement correct? If so, then you can use the filedialog.askopenfilenames (with an s in the end) that is able to do exactly this: from tkinter import filedialog files = filedialog.askopenfilenames(parent=self.master,title='Choose the Music file(s)', filetypes=(("xml files", "*.xml"))) I'd used this code in one of my projects where the user wanted to select multiple xml files for processing by using one single browse button. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Prahlad _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
