Re: [Tutor] Available filetypes for AskSaveasfilenam in Tkinter?

[Wayne Watson]

Title: Signature.html

What I'm getting at it is when I see something in a program as:             path = asksaveasfilename(defaultextension=".jpg",                                      title="Save as JPEG",                                      initialfile=default_path,                                      filetypes=IMAGE_FILE_TYPES) I'm guessing when the program executes this, it's really saves a file in the jpg format. If I want to use some offbeat format like pcx (it's a real graphics format), it's actually going to create the file in that format. In other words, what stops me from using any old fictional format like 'cat', or how do I know what the authorized list of format is?

You can certainly do this: tkFileDialog.asksaveasfilename(filetypes=[('PCX files', '*.pcx'), ('FITS files', '*.fits'), ('Dogs', '*.dog')]) If that's not what you want, you need to explain yourself better.. -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.01 Deg.
