doc                                                    1.0                                        fsdialog(3tcl)

       The  fsdialog  package  installs direct replacements for the original tk_getOpenFile, tk_getSaveFile, and
       tk_chooseDirectory commands of Tk. The replacements provide more advanced features for user  interaction.
       See the manual pages of the original commands for the details on their usage.

       To control the advanced features, the package provides some additional commands.

       ttk::fsdialogconfigfile ?name?
              Specify  a  configuration  file for the dialogs to automatically store and retrieve the preference
              settings and history.  By default, the package will use the file ".config/tcltk/fsdialog.cfg", but
              only if that file exists.  Calling this command without the name argument will create the  default
              configuration  file,  so it is guaranteed to be used.  Specify an empty string for name to prevent
              the use of the default configuration file, even if it exists.

       ttk::fsdialoghistory ?name...?
              Get or seed the list of files and directories that will be presented to the user in various  drop-
              down  lists.  That  list is normally maintained automatically, but this command makes it available
              for external storage and loading.

       ttk::fsdialogpreferences ?option? ?valueoptionvalue...?
              Configure preference settings. This command is provide for situations where the use of a  specific
              configuration  file  for the file system dialogs is not desired. For example, when the preferences
              are going to be stored as part of the overall application configuration.

              If no name or value arguments are supplied, the command  returns  a  list  containing  alternating
              option names and values for the channel. If name is supplied but no value then the command returns
              the  current  value  of the given option. If one or more pairs of name and value are supplied, the
              command sets each of the named options to the corresponding value; in this case the  return  value
              is an empty string.

              The following settings are available:

              detailsboolean
                     Show the short (0) or long (1) version of the file list. Default: 0.

              duopaneboolean
                     Combine  files  and directories in a single pane (0) or show directories in a separate pane
                     (1). Default: 0.

              hiddenboolean
                     Show hidden files and directories. Default: 0.

              mixedboolean
                     List directories before files (0) or list all entries without making a distinction  between
                     files  and  directories  (1).  This  setting only has effect when files and directories are
                     shown in a single pane. Default: 0.

              reverseboolean
                     Show the entries in reverse sorting order. Default: 0.

              sortproperty
                     Select which property to use for sorting the entries in the file pane.  The directory  pane
                     is always sorted by name.  Possible values are name, date, and size. Default: name.
