DESCRIPTION

Curses::UI::Dialog::Dirbrowser is a dirbrowser dialog. This type of dialog can be used to select a directory, anywhere on the filesystem.

See exampes/demo−Curses::UI::Dialog::Dirbrowser in the distribution for a short demo.

OPTIONS

•

−title < TEXT >

Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.

•

−path < PATH >

Set the path to start with to PATH. If this path does not exist, the filebrowser will start in the rootdirectory.

•

−show_hidden < BOOLEAN >

If BOOLEAN has a true value, hidden files (the filename starts with a dot) will also be shown. By default this option is set to false.

METHODS

	•		new ( OPTIONS )
	•		layout ( )
	•		draw ( BOOLEAN )
	•		focus ( )

These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an explanation of these.

•

get ( )

This method will return the complete path to the file that was selected using the filebrowser. If no file was selected, this method will return an undefined value.

SPECIAL BINDINGS

•

escape

This will invoke the cancel button, so the filebrowser widget returns without selecting any file.

•

˜

If the directory− or filelistbox of the dialog window has the focus and the tilde (˜) button is pressed, the filebrowser will chdir to the homedirectory of the current user.
