SYNOPSIS

  use Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ChooseDirectory ( destroy_with_parent => TRUE,
                                           modal => TRUE );
 
  # do some stuff like creating your app's main $window then,
  # to ensure that all messages use the right parent, set it:
  $Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ChooseDirectory::parent_window = $window;
 
  # now popup a new dialog for selecting an existing directory
  my $dir = select Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ChooseDirectory ( "/path/to/somewhere" );

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simple file chooser api that wraps Gtk2::FileChooser objectively. The objective is a simple ways to prompt a user to open or save a file.

OPTIONS

All public methods (and the entire class) support the following options:
title => STRING
The text string to use as the title of the dialog window. Defaults to either ``Select'' or ``Create'' based on the action context.
path => STRING
The path to a file or directory to initialize the dialog with. Defaults to the current working directory.
parent_window => Gtk2::Window
Reference to the main application window.
destroy_with_parent => BOOL
When the parent_window is destroyed, what do we do? Defaults to FALSE.
modal => BOOL
Does this dialog make the parent_window freeze while the dialog exists. Defaults to FALSE.
must_exist => BOOL
The end-user must supply a path to an existing file or directory. Should the end-user provide a non-existant path, the dialog will be respawned until an existing file is chosen. Defaults to FALSE.

PUBLIC METHODS

OBJECT = new ( OPTIONS | PATH )
Create a Gtk2::FileChooserDialog with the options given and show it to the end-user. Once the user has selected a directory return only the path to the directoy and clean up. In the special case of being passed only one argument, all options are set to defaults and the one argument is used as the path argument.
RESPONSE = ask_to_select ( OPTIONS | PATH )
Supports all the same arguments as new(). This will create a new Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ChooseDirectory, with some specific defaults, and return the user's response. In the event of being given only one argument, it will be used as the path option.
RESPONSE = ask_to_create ( OPTIONS | PATH )
Supports all the same arguments as new(). This will create a new Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ChooseDirectory, with some specific defaults, and return the user's response. In the event of being given only one argument, it will be used as the path option.
